Akor Adams: AFCON Experience Gave My Career a Major Boost

1 / 7

Super Eagles forward Akor Adams says representing Nigeria at the Africa Cup of Nations was a huge confidence lift as he adapts to life at Sevilla. The 26-year-old moved to La Liga in January 2025 and soon earned a national call-up. He featured in all seven matches in Morocco, scoring twice and setting up two goals to help Nigeria claim bronze over Egypt on penalties. In a recent interview with a Spanish sports outlet, Adams called his AFCON run “a great privilege” and a key moment in his progression. He expressed pride in being a regular starter throughout the tournament, despite missing out on the title. Adams also thanked Sevilla’s management for their faith. He says he works hard daily to meet both club and personal goals. The striker snapped a five-game drought with a goal against Rayo Vallecano, though he faced a tough outing in Sevilla’s 5-2 loss at Barcelona.
