Iwobi also touched on Nigeria’s third-place finish at the Africa Cup of Nations, calling it a respectable result in a tough tournament. “Good season overall, also Afcon we did well,” he said. “When you go to a tournament you want to win it, but to achieve third place in a tough competition is still credit to ourselves. We always strive to achieve more to improve. Hopefully next season we can do that. I can do that again personally as well. Personally try to get more stats, more goals.”
Having recovered from injury and finished the season strongly, Iwobi is now focused on preparing for international duty. “I’m grateful to be back fit after injury,” he said. “I was able to finish the season feeling good. Of course, I’ve got to get ready for the international break, but I have a little time off to refresh.” His return adds depth and experience to the Super Eagles squad, which will need all available talent to compete against strong European opponents. As Nigeria looks to build momentum ahead of future tournaments, Iwobi’s continued presence remains a key factor in the team’s long-term plans.
