Super Eagles to play Tunisia, Uganda, Tanzania in AFCON 2025
The Super Eagles of Nigeria have been drawn into a tantalising Group C for the 2025 African Cup of Nations (AFCON), set to take place in Morocco.
The Eagles will face Tunisia, Uganda, and Tanzania in what promises to be a thrilling contest as the race for continental supremacy begins.
Nigeria’s clash with Tunisia is poised to be the group’s headline encounter. Memories of the Carthage Eagles’ triumph over the Super Eagles at the 2022 Nations Cup still linger, where Tunisia edged out the Eagles of Nigeria with a 1-0 victory in the Round of 16.
This rematch offers the perfect opportunity for redemption as Nigeria seeks to cement its status as one of Africa’s footballing giants.
The group also includes Uganda and Tanzania, two teams eager to upset the odds and make their mark on Africa’s biggest stage.
