Nigeria must save its season. Eliminated from the race to qualify for the 2026 World Cup by the Democratic Republic of Congo, the Super Eagles are betting everything on the 2025 African Cup of Nations. They will enter the fray this Tuesday against Tanzania, the most affordable team in Group C, before facing Tunisia and Uganda.
Led by their striker Victor Osimhen, unstoppable with Galatasaray, the Nigerians defend a finalist place acquired two years ago. However, they lost in the final against the host country, Ivory Coast. However, they opened the scoring in the 38th minute. Their last title dates back to the 2013 edition played in South Africa. An eternity for such a nation.
Eric Chelle’s men begin their continental campaign this Tuesday with a match against Tanzania at the Fez stadium (6:30 p.m.). They will continue four days later, Saturday December 27, against Tunisia (9 p.m.), before closing the group stage on Tuesday December 30 against Uganda (5 p.m.). The last two matches will also take place in Fez.
