According to the Confederation of African Football (CAF), Frank Onyeka, a midfielder for the Super Eagles of Nigeria, was the greatest tackler in the recently finished 2023 AFCON.
Frank Onyeka, who participated in all seven of the Eagles’ games throughout the competition, earned the moniker “tank” for his extraordinary performance.
His contribution to the Super Eagles of Nigeria’s journey from the tournament’s group stage to the championship was crucial.
Remember that the Super Eagles lost 2-1 to the tournament’s hosts, Ivory Coast, after not dropping a single game during the group and knockout phases.
Frank Onyeka made the most tackles and interceptions during the 2023 AFCON, according to CAF, which confirmed this a few days after the game.
This was accomplished by the 26-year-old midfielder for Brentford, who played 608 of a possible 660 minutes of game.
