...qualifying and winning AFCON is a gimme aka free ride.
World cup qualification is a must, and shoot for 3rd round. We have not attained that yet.

This is a common debate among many african NT fans.
Would you rather have Nigeria win the AFCON 2021/2 and then not qualify for the world cup, or Nigeria getting knocked out in the second round or quarter finals of the AFCON followed by a qualification to the world cup?
Thanks
Winning AFCON! We have only won it 3 times.

Qualification for WC and going home after first round is a WASTE of everyone's time and resources! We have qualified for WC far more than we've won the AFCON. Winning AFCON is more difficult than qualifying for the WC

And winning the AFCON presents an opportunity to play against other continental champions :thumb:
