CHAN Eagles captain Nduka Junior has said the exploits of the Super Falcons and their basketball counterparts, D’Tigress, have challenged them to give their best at the 2024 CHAN beginning with their opening game against defending champions Senegal today.
Both Super Falcons and D’Tigress maintained their dominance on the continent to be handsomely rewarded by the Nigerian government.
“To our fellow Nigerians, I know the expectations are high because we have been doing well in sports and we will try not to let them down,” Nduka Junior vowed.
“Our female team have just won the WAFCON and our women’s team just won the basketball title.
“It’s a good record for the country and we hope to consolidate on that.”
Coach Eric Chelle insisted that they will take it a game-at-a-time and so their immediate focus will be Senegal today.
Kick-off time today is 6pm in Nigeria
