Super Eagles star, Kelechi Iheanacho has assured that the Super Eagles will be back after their 2023 Africa Cup of Nations, AFCON, final defeat to Ivory Coast on Sunday night.

Franck Kessie and Sebastien Haller scored the goals for Ivory Coast in the second half, while William Toost-Ekong scored for Nigeria.
