Bayer Leverkusen Congratulates Nigeria’s Super Eagles on 2025 AFCON Qualification
The reigning Bundesliga champions, Bayer Leverkusen, have extended their best wishes to Nigeria’s Super Eagles and their star striker Victor Boniface on their successful qualification for the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON). The Super Eagles, who have won the tournament three times, secured their spot in the upcoming competition following a 1-1 draw against Benin Republic on November 14.
Leverkusen celebrated this remarkable achievement by posting a brief yet enthusiastic message on their social media platform, expressing their pride in the Super Eagles’ accomplishment.
The message read: “Congratulations to the @NGSuperEagles and @boniface_jrn on qualifying for #AFCON2025!”
The Super Eagles will wrap up their qualifying campaign on November 18, when they face Rwanda’s Amavubi at 5 p.m. at the Godswill Akpabio International Stadium in Uyo. The fans are expected to rally behind the national team in support of a strong performance.
Off the pitch, there’s speculation that Victor Boniface might need to adjust to a new managerial style next season. According to EuroSport Spain, Xabi Alonso, who has led Leverkusen to impressive performances, is poised to leave the club at the end of the current campaign.
Alonso has rapidly gained recognition as one of Europe’s most sought-after young coaches, having guided Leverkusen to an undefeated domestic season last year. His current contract with the German club runs until 2026, but insiders suggest he may depart a year earlier than scheduled.
The buzz is that Alonso is now a leading candidate to replace Carlo Ancelotti at Real Madrid, a position that has become increasingly uncertain due to the team’s disappointing start to the season in both La Liga and the Champions League.
