Super Eagles Group Stage Fixtures For AFCON 2025

The Super Eagles of Nigeria have been drawn in Group C of the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) in Morocco, alongside Tunisia, Tanzania, and Uganda.

Naija News reports that with a rich AFCON history, including three previous titles, Nigeria enters the tournament as one of the favourites to lift the coveted trophy.

Nigeria came agonisingly close to glory in the last edition, losing 2-1 to hosts Côte d’Ivoire in the final after initially taking the lead. As they gear up for Morocco, the focus is clear: go one step further and claim the continental crown in North Africa.

The Super Eagles will kick off their campaign against the Taifa Stars of Tanzania on December 23 at 6:30 pm (WAT) at the Fez Stadium in Fes.

Nigeria’s second group match promises fireworks as they face the Carthage Eagles of Tunisia on December 27 at 9:00 pm. This North African rivalry is always intense, with both sides looking to assert dominance early in the tournament.

The group stage will conclude with the Super Eagles taking on the Cranes of Uganda on December 30 at 5:00 pm. The top two teams from each group will automatically progress to the round of 16, while four additional teams will qualify as the best third-placed finishers.
