Speaking in an interview with Chinasa Anukam on the Is This Seat Taken show, Iwobi shared his favourite moment from Nigeria's AFCON 2023 outing in Ivory Coast, playing up the team's camaraderie.

“My favourite moment from AFCON 2023 was beating South Africa on penalties. Our goalkeeper [Nwabali], that's my guy. We're one big family, we don't like having big egos, and we're all as good as each other. Obviously, we've got people nominated for Africa's best, but we're trying to be Africa's best team. That's how we see it,” the former Everton man said.

Iwobi was a part of the Super Eagles team that claimed bronze in the AFCON 2019 and was part of the team that won silver in Ivory Coast last year and is gunning for a gold or nothing in the AFCON 2025 tournament in Morocco.

“We want to win the AFCON, we were so close in the last one, and I want to win the next one,” the 28-year-old concluded.

Alex Iwobi has played every game for Fulham in the English Premier League this season, helping Marco Silva's side to 9th place.
