EXCLUSIVE: Nigeria exit from Wafu Cup of Nations unfortunate - Alimi

Nigeria forward Sikiru Alimi rues the country's early exit from the 2019 West Africa Football Union Cup of Nations in Senegal.

The Super Eagles let many down after failing to record a win in their outing in the regional tournament with defeats to Togo and Cape Verde.

Alimi was one of the players making their competitive debut for the national team in Thies and he grabbed a goal in their 2-1 loss to Togo in their opening fixture.
