Nigeria’s Super Eagle fails to qualify for AFCON 2017 after 1-0 defeat to Egypt

Super Eagles during their first leg 1-1 draw with Egypt

Nigeria's Super Eagles have failed to qualify for the 2017 Afcon after suffering a one-nil defeat to Egypt in Alexandria on Tuesday. It is the first time Nigeria will miss the competition back to back in 18 years. The Super Eagles missed the Afcon editions of 1996 and 1998 owing to suspension from Caf after the country's government forced its FA to withdraw from the tournament in 1996 which they were to defend as champions in South Africa.
Nigeria will now miss out on a second successive Afcon, with the latest tournament billed for Gabon in 2017, after missing out on the last edition two years ago.
