Sunday Oliseh, a legendary member of Nigeria's iconic "Class of 1994" football team, has expressed his optimism that the country can produce another talented squad to match the achievements of his generation, according to Afrik-Foot.

In an interview with Nation Sports, Oliseh emphasized that Nigeria's large population and passion for football make it possible to replicate the success of the Class of 1994, who won the Africa Cup of Nations and Olympic gold in 1996.

"With over 200 million people and football being like a religion in our country, I believe it's possible to produce another great team," Oliseh said. "I pray it happens in my lifetime, as I would love to watch Nigeria dominate a game again."

Oliseh's confidence in Nigerian football is rooted in his experience and eternal optimism. While the current team has shown promise, they still have a way to go to match the heights achieved by the Class of 1994.

Nevertheless, Oliseh remains hopeful that a new generation of talented players will emerge to make Nigeria a dominant force in football once again. His enthusiasm and belief serve as a inspiration to Nigerian football fans, who share his dream of seeing their country excel on the international stage.
