2025 AFCON: Super Eagles to face Tunisia, Uganda, Tanzania in group stage
The Super Eagles of Nigeria have been drawn into Group C alongside Tunisia, Uganda, and Tanzania for the upcoming 2025 Africa Cup of Nations in Morocco.
The three-time African champions will face a challenging path to glory as they seek to add a fourth AFCON title to their trophy cabinet. Nigeria narrowly missed out on victory in the last final, losing to Côte d’Ivoire.
