The Confederation of African Football (CAF) has reportedly informed the team their goalkeeper won’t play against Nigeria’s Super Eagles at the AFCON.

Neblu was sent off the pitch after he handled the ball beyond his penalty area, but his team still won the game with three goals, Soccernet.ng reports.

Meanwhile, ahead of the game, Super Eagle’s gaffer, Jose Peseiro, said there are no small teams in football.

Super Sports quoted him as saying:

“I am telling them that we are only in the last eight, that we still have some way to go and that the farther we go, the tougher the opposition becomes. We have played four matches and won three, so we must keep level heads as we go forward. Our philosophy is that there are no small teams here at the Africa Cup of Nations. Every team qualified to be here, and every team in the knockout phase qualified from a group phase.

“Any team in the last eight is good enough for the trophy. We believe we are good enough for the trophy, but we must continue working and putting out our best on match days.”

Man laments high cost of data in Ivory Coast

Meanwhile, TheTalk.NG reported that a Nigerian man who is in Cote d’Ivoire for the ongoing African Cup of Nations has lamented the high cost of internet data.

Pooja, who is a photographer, said he bought 15 gig data for 10,000 CFA, which amounted to N20,000.

Many Nigerians who saw the post on X expressed surprise that the CFA currency was stronger than the Nigerian Naira.
