AFCON 2019: Nigeria set to extend their record run

in sportstalk •  6 years ago 

I quickly want to write something short in relation to the upcoming third place match between Tunisia and Nigeria.
Tunisia and Nigeria have been forced to settle down and fight for the 3rd place spot after they were beaten by Senegal and Algeria respectively.

The super eagles have won bronze (third place) seven times before, this is even three more than Ivory Coast in ranked second on the list of AFCON bronze winners.

Here is the full list of the bronze winners;
Nigeria – 7 times
Ivory Coast – 4 times
Egypt – 3 times
Zambia – 3 times
DR Congo – 2 times
Algeria – 2 times
Mali – 2 times

If Nigeria should win it again this year, they'd extend their bronze records to 8th times compared to Tunisia seeking to win their 2nd bronze trophy.

In total Nigeria have won 3 Golds, 4 Silver and 7 Bronze

While Tunisia have won 1 Gold, 2 Silver and 1Bronze
