The three-time African champions begin their 2021 Africa Cup of Nations campaign with a clash against the Pharaohs 

Former Chelsea winger Victor Moses has thrown his support behind Nigeria’s Super Eagles as they begin their 2021 AFCON campaign with a clash against Egypt.

Moses is a retired Nigerian international who scored 12 goals in 38 appearances for the Super Eagles. The highest point of his international career came in 2013 when he played a key role in helping Nigeria win their third AFCON title in South Africa.
