Super Eagles forward, Ahmed Musa confident of qualification

Super Eagles forward, Ahmed Musa, is confident Nigeria will qualify for the 2017 Africa Cup of Nations.

Nigeria are in a tricky Group G of the qualifiers alongside Egypt, Tanzania, Chad and after failing to qualify for the 2015 edition Russian based forward Musa says he is confident that they will be at the next AFCON.

“The fact that we did not qualify for the last AFCON means that we have to work harder this time because it is a tough group,” CSKA Moscow is quoted to say on CAF official website.

“Of course, we have not played against them before but we have to be confident that we can get it done.

"There is the possibility for us to win but we have to work hard too. We know it is going to be a tough match, being the first game of the qualifiers, but we are playing at home in Kaduna and that is an extra motivation for us because we know the fans in Kaduna will be there to support us.

“By the grace of God, I want to assure Nigerians that we are going to qualify for the next AFCON in Gabon.”

Nigeria will play Chad this weekend in their first match in the qualification series.
