Nigeria qualifies for 2025 AFCON
The Super Eagles of Nigeria have qualified for the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations.
Although the team has two games spare in the qualifying series, the Super Eagles, with 10 points in the kitty, are assured a top-two finish following Libya’s lone goal victory in the Group D match away to Rwanda in Kigali.
The Super Eagles are billed to face Benin Republic’s Cheetahs Thursday night in Abidjan before returning home to round off their qualifying campaign against Rwanda on Monday.
Neither Rwanda, on five points, nor Libya, on four points, can do enough to overtake the Super Eagles with only one match left to play.
The 35th Africa Cup of Nations scheduled for Morocco will take place from 21 December 2025 to 18 January 2026
