Former Nigeria international Ben Iroha has urged the Super Eagles to treat every opponent in the 2027 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers with full respect, warning that complacency could prove costly regardless of how the draw may appear on paper.
Iroha, a member of Nigeria's historic 1994 AFCON-winning squad and a former assistant coach at the 2007 FIFA U-17 World Cup, was reacting to Tuesday's qualifying draw held in Cairo, Egypt, which placed the Super Eagles in Group L alongside Madagascar, Guinea-Bissau, and Tanzania.
A group that should not be underestimated
Speaking from his base in Texas, United States, Iroha acknowledged that Group L might appear straightforward at first glance — but cautioned against reading too much into surface impressions.
