NFF Launches ‘NAIJA 4 THE WIN’ Campaign Ahead of AFCON 2025 in Morocco

The Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) has officially unveiled the NAIJA 4 THE WIN campaign as the Super Eagles return to the continental stage for the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) in Morocco, with renewed determination to reclaim Africa’s most prestigious football title.

Three-time African champions Nigeria head into the tournament driven by history, pride, and unfinished business. While the Super Eagles’ silver-medal finish at the 2023 AFCON in Abidjan* was a strong showing, it also served as a reminder of how close the nation came to continental glory. Those memories now fuel the hunger for a stronger and more decisive campaign in Morocco.

Under the leadership of Head Coach Eric Sékou Chelle, and with the full backing of the National Sports Commission and the NFF, the Super Eagles are continuing to build a competitive structure founded on discipline, experience, emerging talent, and collective ambition. The mandate is clear: go one step further and bring the AFCON trophy back to Nigeria.

The NAIJA 4 THE WIN campaign is designed as a rallying call to Nigerians at home and in the diaspora, uniting the nation behind a shared belief that history can repeat itself. From Nigeria 1980, Tunisia 1994, to South Africa 2013, each AFCON triumph has left an enduring legacy—one the Super Eagles are determined to extend in Morocco 2025.

The NFF has called on Nigerians everywhere to stand firmly behind the team—whether from homes and viewing centres across the country or in the stadiums in Morocco—emphasising that the passion and support of the fans remain a vital ingredient for success.
