Former Nigerian international Mutiu Adepoju has called on the Super Eagles to maintain their strong form as they prepare for Saturday’s Africa Cup of Nations 2025 quarter-final against Algeria.
Nigeria, three-time AFCON champions, advanced to the quarter-finals with a commanding 4–0 victory over Mozambique in the round of 16. Meanwhile, Algeria needed extra time to overcome DR Congo to secure their spot.
Speaking to Footy Africa, Adepoju praised the Super Eagles for their dominant display against Mozambique but cautioned that Algeria will pose a tougher challenge.
“It was a very good win and I would say it was a statement victory,” Adepoju said. “They played very well and scored the goals, which has been expected throughout this tournament. We have been improving game by game, and I hope that improvement continues in the quarter-finals. The performance was tremendous, the play was good, and it was total dominance over the Mozambicans. It was a very good win. Hopefully, we can replicate the same performance against Algeria, who will be another difficult side.”
Adepoju emphasized the need for consistency and focus, noting that Nigeria must continue building on their strong performances if they hope to progress further in the tournament.
