Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>Frank Onyeka believes the Super Eagles have the quality to win the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations.<\/p>\n

Jose Peseiro\u2019s side will be targeting a fourth title when hostilities begin in Cote d\u2019Ivoire next January.<\/p>\n

The three-time African champions will face hosts Cote d\u2019Ivoire, Equatorial Guinea and Guinea-Bissau in Group A.<\/p>\n

Onyeka, who plays for Premier League club, Brentford, is upbeat the Super Eagles can challenge for the title.<\/p>\n

\u201cLook at the squad we\u2019ve got, we can go there and win it. We\u2019ve got Osimhen, Boniface, Awoniyi \u2014 they are all doing well in Europe,\u201d the midfielder told Livescore.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo we\u2019ve got a good team and we can go and win. We have plenty of past players who have done well for Nigeria but now for us as players, we need to focus on ourselves and as a team to do what we need to do to make our nation proud.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Super Eagles will open their campaign against Equatorial Guinea at the Alhassan Quattara Stadium, Ebimpe on January 14.<\/p>\n

They will take on Cote d\u2019Ivoire and Guinea-Bissau on January 18 and January 22 respectively.<\/p>\n
