Nigeria, who last lifted the continental title in 2015, are among the favourites once again, thanks to their rich pedigree and strong performances in recent competitions.

Nigeria will face Tunisia on Thursday in their Group B opener, a match that could shape the momentum of their campaign.

Zubairu and his players are approaching the tournament with a game-by-game mindset, knowing that consistency and focus are key.

Speaking to the club’s official website, the Nigerian international reflected on his growth and experiences since making his debut in Italy’s top flight.

Meanwhile, Simone Inzaghi’s Inter Milan are hoping to build on 22/23 final appearance, where they narrowly lost to Manchester City.

On the international front, Sadiq earned a recall to the Super Eagles squad under Eric Chelle in March but did not feature in the two friendlies against Rwanda and Zimbabwe.

CAF, in its feature on breakout talents, described Arierhi as “a natural finisher” with the potential to be decisive in Nigeria’s title charge.

For Remo Stars, the dream continues. While Osimhen’s support further cements his growing role as a football ambassador for Nigeria.

Isaac concluded by advising the coach not to include Osimhen in the Unity – Cup squad, urging a more cautious approach to his fitness and long term availability.

Nottingham Forest currently sits sixth on the Premier League table but could climb back to third if they win their outstanding match against Brentford.
