The Confederation of African Football (CAF) has announced its best 11 for the group stage of the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations, and some notable Super Eagles stars, including Victor Osimhen, have been omitted from the list, Soccernet.ng reports.

Nigeria, managed by Jose Peseiro, secured seven points and finished as runners-up in a challenging group that included Guinea-Bissau, Equatorial Guinea, and the host nation, Côte d’Ivoire.
