Odegbami, winner of the AFCON in 1980, stated that the likes of Ghana, Cameroon, champions Senegal and AFCON 2023 hosts Cte dIvoire, are not as strong as the Eagles.
Im going to AFCON fully loaded to join those that will come back with that trophy. If you ask me why, I really dont know, I cant justify it but I have a gut feeling that its going to happen, Odegbami said as a guest on Nigeria Infos programme, Game On
The other teams are not very strong, the stronger teams are the North African teams but they are coming to meet us in West Africa.
Senegal are not the team of two, three years ago, Cte dIvoire are not the same at all and those are the strong teams from West Africa that could give us a fight. Not Ghana, not Cameroon.
Odegbami noted that the presence of reigning CAF Player of the Year, Victor Osimhen, will give the Eagles the advantage over the other teams.
We have the psychological boost now in Victor Osimhen. It is not that Victor is best player in Africa for nothing, it is because he has earned it and he is going to show it. And you need that kind of presence in your national team. That person that can make the difference, to separate you from the team that will do well and not win.

He is going to do well and win for us and based on a few of those things and we have good players but they havent blended as a team but now they will have a little bit of time to blend a little.
The other teams are not very strong and we have a Victor Osimhen and I pray they remove Francis Uzoho in goal, if we do all of those things we are going to come back with the trophy.
The last time the Eagles won the AFCON was at the 2013 edition held in South Africa.
It was their third continental title since landing their first on home soil in 1980.
The 2023 edition which will run from January 13 to February 11, will see Jose Peseiros side face Cte dIvoire, Equatorial Guinea and Guinea-Bissau in Group A.
