Equatorial Guinea’s coach, Juan Micha, anticipates a challenging start to the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations as his team faces Nigeria in their opening match. Recognizing the formidable Nigerian squad, which boasts talents like Victor Osimhen, Micha emphasizes the importance of not losing their debut AFCON match. While cautious about predicting the tournament’s champion, he cites strong contenders such as Côte d’Ivoire, Senegal, Egypt, and Morocco. Despite Equatorial Guinea’s past quarterfinal defeat to Senegal in 2021, Micha remains focused on confronting Nigeria with full strength in their bid for AFCON success
