The Super Eagles of Nigeria have been placed in an exciting Group C for the 2025 African Cup of Nations (AFCON) in Morocco.
In this group, the Eagles will confront Tunisia, Uganda, and Tanzania, promising a thrilling contest for continental supremacy.
Notably, Nigeria’s match against Tunisia stands out as the group’s key encounter. The memory of Tunisia’s 1-0 victory over Nigeria in the 2022 Nations Cup still resonates.

Additionally, Uganda and Tanzania are also in the group, both aiming to challenge the odds and leave their mark on this prestigious tournament.
Although Tunisia poses the toughest challenge, Nigeria must not overlook the fierce determination and passion that Uganda and Tanzania bring to the competition.
Excitement is palpable in the tournament’s other groups as well.
Host nation Morocco leads Group A, which includes Mali, Zambia, and Comoros, setting the stage for an exhilarating opening phase.
Group B, dubbed the “Group of Death,” features formidable teams like Egypt, South Africa, and Angola, while Zimbabwe hopes to surprise everyone.
Meanwhile, defending champions Senegal find themselves in Group D alongside DR Congo, Benin, and Botswana, while Group E showcases Algeria against Burkina Faso, Equatorial Guinea, and Sudan in a balanced lineup.
Finally, Group F promises a clash of giants as Cote d’Ivoire faces Cameroon, along with Gabon and Mozambique, making it one of the tournament’s most competitive groups.
As the countdown to Morocco 2025 accelerates, all eyes will focus on the Super Eagles to see if they can rise above their rivals in Group C and launch a memorable campaign.
Notably, Nigeria finished as runner-up in the last AFCON held in Cote d’Ivoire.
