Bayer Leverkusen Congratulate Boniface Over Nigeria’s 2025 AFCON Qualification

The reigning Bundesliga champions, Bayer Leverkusen, have congratulated Victor Boniface and the entire Super Eagles squad for successfully securing a spot in the upcoming 2025 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON).

The Super Eagles who are three-time champions of the tournament earned their place in the 2025 AFCON after recording a 1-1 draw against Benin Republic on Thursday, November 14.

To celebrate this significant achievement, Leverkusen shared a brief yet enthusiastic message on their X platform, expressing their pride in the Super Eagles’ accomplishment.

They wrote: “Congratulations to @NGSuperEagles and @boniface_jrn on qualifying for #AFCON2025!”

In their final qualifying match, the Super Eagles are set to face the Amavubi of Rwanda at 5 p.m. on Monday, November 18. This crucial encounter will take place at the Godswill Akpabio International Stadium in Uyo, where fans are expected to rally behind the national team in hopes of a strong performance.

Meanwhile, reports are suggesting that Super Eagles striker Victor Boniface might find himself adapting to a new managerial style next season.

According to sources from EuroSport Spain, it appears that Xabi Alonso, who has been instrumental in leading Bayer Leverkusen to impressive performances, is poised to leave the club at the end of the current campaign.

Alonso has quickly risen to prominence as one of the most sought-after young coaches in Europe, having guided Leverkusen to an exceptional domestic invincible season last season.

His leadership has garnered attention across the footballing world, and his current contract with the German club is set to last until the summer of 2026. However, it seems likely that he will depart a year earlier than scheduled.

Insiders suggest that Alonso is now a leading candidate to take over from Carlo Ancelotti at Real Madrid, a position that has become increasingly uncertain due to the team’s disappointing start to the season in both La Liga and the Champions League.
