Onyemaechi has however backed the team to go all the way this time around.
“You can’t predict football, things are getting tougher every day. There are no small countries again. I believe in the team, if we keep focus and maintain positivity in camp, then we can win the trophy,” Onyemaechi told Completesports.com.
“We are moving in the right direction at the moment, we have won three of our last four games which is good for our confidence.
“I believe we will be ready to compete and give our best in Cote d’Ivoire next year.”
The left-back is gradually becoming a regular in the Super Eagles after earning a starting berth in the team’s last three outings against Sao Tome and Principe, Saudi Arabia, and Mozambique.
