Coach Ibrahim Tanko's side will face Côte d'Ivoire in the semi-finals of the Africa U23 Cup of Nations on Tuesday.
A win for the Black Meteors at the Cairo International Stadium will see them book a ticket for the Olympic Games in 2020.
"I know the Ivory Coast are good but I believe our players are better and their biggest motivation is to qualify for Tokyo next year." he told Happy FM.
"The players are in high spirits when I speak with them and they are all motivated to go to Tokyo next year."
