The Super Eagles of Nigeria have officially qualified for the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON), thanks to Libya’s 1-0 victory over Rwanda at the Amahoro Stadium in Kigali.
With this result, the Super Eagles, who had amassed 10 points in their group, are guaranteed a top-two finish and will join other teams at the tournament set to take place in Morocco from December 21, 2025, to January 18, 2026.
The Nigerian national team will shortly face the Benin Republic’s Cheetahs in Abidjan and later return home to complete their AFCON qualifying campaign against Rwanda on Monday.
Even with one match remaining for both Rwanda (five points) and Libya (four points), neither team can surpass Nigeria in the group standings.
The Super Eagles, who are three-time AFCON champions, are aiming to maintain their strong form heading into the tournament.
The upcoming AFCON in Morocco will provide another opportunity for the team to showcase their strength on the continental stage.
