Austin Jay-Jay Okocha, former captain of the Nigerian national team, has expressed his confidence in the Super Eagles’ ability to defeat South Africa in the semi-final of the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) and potentially win the trophy.

Speaking with Arise News ahead of Nigeria’s crucial clash with South Africa, Okocha emphasized that the semi-final match is open and could go either way.
