In the quest to secure a spot at the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations, the Super Eagles of Nigeria are set to kick off their campaign with an intriguing away fixture against Libya, according to a report by Al Daily Post.
The draw for the AFCON 2025 qualifiers, held in Johannesburg, South Africa, unveiled Nigeria in Group D alongside Libya, Benin Republic, and Rwanda.
Scheduled between September 2 and 10, the opening two matchdays promise early challenges for the Super Eagles as they navigate through a competitive group. Nigeria's recent encounter with Libya saw them emerge victorious with a 3-2 scoreline during a 2019 Africa Cup of Nations qualifier, setting the stage for another compelling showdown between the two sides.
With qualification on the line, the subsequent qualifiers in October and November will be crucial as teams vie for the top two spots that guarantee entry into the 2025 AFCON finals, slated to take place in Morocco. The tournament itself is scheduled to run from December 21, 2025, to January 18, 2026, promising a thrilling conclusion to the continental championship.
