Ivory Coast's ex-captain and all-time top scorer acknowledged the tough competition but remains confident in his nation's ability to rise to the occasion. "Certainly, we're knee-deep in a challenging group. Nigeria is undeniably a contender, and their presence adds spice to our group. But we're game for it! This is the thrilling essence of AFCON, and we're eager to take on the challenge as we witness the best teams from our group and across other groups qualify," said a humble Drogba.
Both Nigeria and the host nation have savored continental victories – Cote d'Ivoire claiming glory in 1992 and 2015, while Nigeria seized the coveted title three times in 1980, 1994, and 2013.
Let's not forget Equatorial Guinea and Guinea-Bissau; these dark horses hold the potential to shock everyone at next year’s continental face-off.
