In a special episode of World Football at Afcon, John Bennett is joined by former Nigeria defender Efe Ambrose who shares his memories of the Super Eagles 2013 Africa Cup of Nations victory in South Africa.

Ambrose describes the build up to the tournament and takes us inside the dressing room following their memorable quarter-final win over a much fancied Ivory Coast side, including an inspirational message from Didier Drogba.

We also hear about the togetherness of the squad which saw them beat Burkina Faso 1-0 in the final.

John and a variety of guests are with you every match day throughout the tournament to bring you all of the drama and excitement from Ivory Coast.
