However, in a chat with Completesports.com, Unuanel stated that the Super Eagles remains one of the favourites to win the trophy.
“I expect a very competitive tournament considering the countries that will grace the game.
“No doubt, the Super Eagles is one of the favourites to win the tournament but with good preparation and calibre of players in our disposal, I want to sound very optimistic that Nigeria can win the trophy.
“With good friendly games organised to help the team understand themselves, I believe Nigeria will come out victorious at the end of the tournament.”
