They will still be young..

Many of them is football age...


I don't want to pin point anyone but some of them are obvious!
Re: Next AFCON: Super Eagles Players And Their Ages By 2028 by GanagiBitrus:
Next AFCON is 2027
Then 2028, 2032, 2036...

All of them can still make the squad. It will not be dependent on their ages but it will depend on their current performance & how in-form they are.
Re: Next AFCON: Super Eagles Players And Their Ages By 2028 by JealousCobra(m): 11:03am On Jan 18
The aging ones should watch their diets, discipline and focus, surely they will even play beyond then.

Ronaldo on my mind..

You took it out of my mouth,players are selected base on current performance and form.
Am surprise the captain of the last AFCON was not included in this team, he was very exceptional in the last AFCON.
I will be looking forward to seeing few name replace this current squad.

Yes, Troost-Ekong was exceptional in last AFCON. I feel he was still good enough for this AFCON, but he retired from the National team, possibly due to attacks & criticisms he was receiving from some Nigerians.

Oh!!! He has retired from the national team , I thought he was injured or was not in form that is why he didn't make the squad.
The guy has charisma and good leadership qualities.

he dropped in performance as well. He was responsible for 2 draws in wcq.

You dont pick players by previous performace..else you ll fail as a coach
Re: Next AFCON: Super Eagles Players And Their Ages By 2028 by Inspirer1: 2:30pm On Jan 18
23 to 27 should be maintained, others should retire in peace

The Beautyful Ones Are Not Yet Born

Know this and know peace. Time changes yesterday. Enjoy your seasons while they last.

Teju BabyFace once said, if they told you there will be another Ronaldo, that you would not even remember the original Ronaldo within the space of 10 years, you won't believe it. Na so life be. The original Ronaldo was a household name. We thought he had etched his name in history after the 2002 World Cup. Fast forward 10 years later, scratch that, 6 years later and the name was Christiano Ronaldo shocked

Life is a story of books. Enjoy your current chapter. Nothing lasts forever. A note to politicians too. Let me leave you with Mourinho's message to Dele Alli.

Performance comes first. If you are young but not performing, you ll be dropped. A good example is kelechi
Re: Next AFCON: Super Eagles Players And Their Ages By 2028 by richiemcgold:
The 2013 winning team struggled to maintain similar form just few years later. I mean the likes of Mba, oboabona, efe ambrose and others. Problems with most Nigerian players is lack of consistency.

Btw, Osimhen is the nearest future captain.
Re: Next AFCON: Super Eagles Players And Their Ages By 2028 by Amalekki: 2:34pm On Jan 18
They will still form the bulk of the team. Their age bracket is typical peak of football career on the average. Nigeria may go all the way in the next AFCON.

He was not guaranteed a starting shirt and chose to retire. That is where I respect Chelle.

Chukwueze, the chin gum eating footballer
Re: Next AFCON: Super Eagles Players And Their Ages By 2028 by AustineE1: 2:35pm On Jan 18
It means Ajayi is 32 now,I guess that's the only reason he is still in the championship because that lad is better than many or most defenders in the premiership. I guess it is just the age factor stopping him from getting a bigger club and you know whites don't always trust our age.
Re: Next AFCON: Super Eagles Players And Their Ages By 2028 by jmoore(m): 2:37pm On Jan 18
Osimhen is already in his 30's na

So it's no longer NFF, Finidi & Uzoho that were responsible, as most people claim.
Re: Next AFCON: Super Eagles Players And Their Ages By 2028 by spiSeyi: 2:38pm On Jan 18
Uzoho, Amas, Nwabali will all be in their late 40s by then undecided
Re: Next AFCON: Super Eagles Players And Their Ages By 2028 by Amalekki: 2:38pm On Jan 18
Also, we should go back to the days of carefully including 2 or 3 outstanding teenagers in our squad/call ups. This almost always yield dividends for national teams, a totally different setup from club football. Every nation has one or two outstanding teenagers, introduce them to the national team early. That's how super talents are nurtured, there is the physical side of football and there is the mental side.

Re: Next AFCON: Super Eagles Players And Their Ages By 2028 by Seeplusplus: 2:39pm On Jan 18
Who came up with this idea that this useless competition should be played biannually?

Such a terrible competition
Re: Next AFCON: Super Eagles Players And Their Ages By 2028 by Amalekki: 2:39pm On Jan 18
Maybe but sometimes it's the contract. Some players have agents that won't go the extra mile. I have two close guys in similar situation during their career. I believe Semi Ajayi was born in the UK and his birth & childhood records are verifiable.

He was part...there are many people involved. Even Peserio that drew the first game

Next Afcon is not 2028
But 2027
Re: Next AFCON: Super Eagles Players And Their Ages By 2028 by Mirasteel: 2:42pm On Jan 18
Majority of them are using football age
Re: Next AFCON: Super Eagles Players And Their Ages By 2028 by Dogalmighty17: 2:45pm On Jan 18
Isn't CAF considering to hold AFCON every four years now?
Re: Next AFCON: Super Eagles Players And Their Ages By 2028 by TUBLEZ(m): 2:46pm On Jan 18
grin So iwobi and lookman senior Osimeh and ndidi
Re: Next AFCON: Super Eagles Players And Their Ages By 2028 by lagonovo: 2:48pm On Jan 18
I think many of them passed through the U17 and some football academy while the rest are foreign-born, so the age issue is no longer how it was pre-MRI days. There may be a few instances but that shouldn't be a major concern anymore.
