Victor Ikpeba Hails Akor Adams as the Emerging Face of Super Eagles’ Future Dominance
Former African Footballer of the Year Victor Ikpeba has expressed profound admiration for Akor Adams’ breakthrough performances during the ongoing 2025 Africa Cup of Nations in Morocco. Speaking in an exclusive interview with Bet9ja, the “Prince of Monaco” emphasized that the Sevilla forward has introduced a refreshing and unselfish dynamic to Nigeria’s frontline.
With the Super Eagles maintaining a flawless record through five matches, Ikpeba noted that Adams’ statistical contribution—consisting of two goals and two assists—underlines his growing influence within the national team setup.
The 1994 AFCON winner praised the tactical foresight of head coach Éric Chelle for integrating the 25-year-old into the starting lineup alongside seasoned stars. Ikpeba highlighted Adams’ physical profile and intelligence, describing him as a persistent nightmare for opposing defenders who struggle to contain his blend of power and pace. The legendary striker believes that the striker’s ability to facilitate play for others, rather than just seeking individual glory, makes him a vital asset as Nigeria chases its fourth continental title.

Appreciating God for his maiden AFCON strike after the match, the 22-year-old dedicated the goal to his mother who was hospitalized in Morocco yesterday but is better and recovering well.
“First, glory to God for the privilege to have my first AFCON goal like all of you have been waiting for,” he started. “But the goal is dedicated to my mum, she is supposed to be here but she is in a hospital right now. “She was admitted this morning but she’s much better now.”

Akor Adams Forced To Leave Nigeria Camp At AFCON 2025 Due To Off-Field Reasons
Nigeria continue their strong run at the AFCON 2025, but football sometimes takes a back seat. At a key moment of the competition, the Super Eagles were hit by unexpected news: one of their most in-form attackers had to step away from the squad just as his influence was beginning to grow.
In a tournament where momentum, focus and emotional balance are everything, any off-field disruption is felt deeply. Even more so when it involves a player who was delivering on the pitch and earning his place among Nigeria’s most trusted attacking options.
The Nigeria Football Federation confirmed on Tuesday that Akor Adams has temporarily left the national team camp. The reason is personal: his mother was hospitalized, and the striker was granted permission to travel and be with her.
