Super Eagles have made unbeaten start to AFCON qualifying campaign
Nigeria hosts Libya this evening in an attempt to build on their successful qualifying campaign for the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations. After defeating Benin in September and drawing goallessly with Rwanda, the Super Eagles are currently leading Group D and are in a strong position to guarantee their spot in Morocco the following year.
Nigeria, led by Augustine Eguavoen, will be happy to shift their attention from their 2026 World Cup qualifying campaign to AFCON affairs. Having lost their first four games, they are currently ranked fifth in that specific qualifying group and face a serious risk of missing out on another World Cup.
The Super Eagles, who have defeated Libya in their last four meetings and have not qualified for an AFCON since 2012, are clear favourites to win this afternoon.
