"After the heartbreak of missing out on a trip to North America in 2026, Nigeria arrive in Morocco in search of redemption and continental glory. The three-time champions open their AFCON 2025 campaign against Group C opponents Tanzania, who have appeared at the tournament just three times. Boasting world-class talent in Victor Osimhen and Ademola Lookman, Nigeria are among the favourites to top the group that also features Tunisia and Uganda."
Nigeria face Tanzania at Fez Stadium, Fez, Morocco on Tuesday, December 23 at 6:30pm (17:30 GMT) in AFCON 2025. Nigeria arrive after failing to qualify for the 2026 World Cup following a 4-3 penalty defeat to the Democratic Republic of the Congo. The Super Eagles have filed a petition to FIFA alleging the DRC fielded ineligible players in that decisive playoff match. The three-time AFCON champions seek continental redemption and feature Victor Osimhen and Ademola Lookman among the squad's leading talents. Group C also includes Tunisia and Uganda, and the Fez match is only their second AFCON meeting.
