Also, this Nations Cup would be his third. Musa was part of the late Stephen Keshi’s team that claimed gold in 2013 and was also part of the team that finished in third place in 2019.
This edition will be his first as captain of the Super Eagles as well as his finale as he claimed.
“I didn’t say I will retire from international football after this AFCON, but this will be my last AFCON, and we still have the World Cup that I will go,” Musa said in the pre-match conference for Nigeria’s first game.
