In today's match against Guinea-Bissau, the Super Eagles will be led by Kasimpasa defender Kenneth Omeruo, who has been appointed as the captain for the game. This significant encounter marks Nigeria's 100th appearance in the Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON).

Omeruo is set to step into the starting lineup, filling the void left by the injured William Troost-Ekong. Although the 30-year-old remained on the bench as an unused substitute in Nigeria's initial game against Equatorial Guinea, he played a pivotal role in the team's 1-0 victory over the Elephants of Cote d’Ivoire last Thursday.

Kenneth Omeruo's captaincy in this milestone AFCON match adds to his impressive record, having already accumulated 100 appearances for the Super Eagles.
