Anas Yusuf, the Nigeria Premier Football League top scorer during the first half of the season, has named unity and togetherness among the Super Eagles B squad as their greatest strength heading into the 2025 African Nations Championship (CHAN). The Nasarawa United striker who netted 11 goals before the mid‑season break emphasised the cohesion and strong bonds within the squad as key to Nigeria’s hopes.
Yusuf noted that personality and prayer played roles in his personal scoring form but insisted that success at CHAN would depend on collective effort and chemistry. As part of a team drawn largely from NPFL clubs like Remo Stars and Enugu Rangers, he believes shared values and familiarity will set their Eagles B side apart.
Under the guidance of coach Eric Chelle and technical staff including Daniel Ogunmodede, the squad’s peace and unity have been hailed as crucial pillars for performance in the continental tournament.
Editorial
We find Anas Yusuf’s message striking in its clarity football is a team game, and at CHAN, unity is Nigeria’s secret weapon. In a squad built from domestic clubs, chemistry matters more than talent alone.

Yusuf’s journey—from NPFL golden boot winner to national representative is a product of environment as much as individual skill. In a league far tougher than its reputation suggests, forging strong bonds and playing for each other is essential.
This isn’t the first time we’ve seen NPFL-based teams falter due to fragmentation. But here, cohesion is purposeful. Scouts and pundits speak of click‑on chemistry, and Yusuf affirms it: merit-based selection, shared identity, tactical clarity.
If Nigeria is to lift what has always eluded them, this squad must deliver not as individuals but as a unit. It’s not about who scores but how they link, how they trust, and how they believe. CHAN demands collective resolve Yusuf’s words reflect that. Leadership starts with belief in one another and when a team embodies unity, even the most talented opponent can feel the cost.
We believe this Eagles B team’s focus on togetherness could become their defining strength—and their key to changing history.
