Africa Cup of Nations 2025: Nigeria-Tanzania, likely lineups
Nigeria and Tanzania face each other at 6:30 p.m. in the match valid for the first day of Group C of the African Cup of Nations 2025, staged in Morocco. The two selections are included in the group along with Tunisia and Uganda. The Super Eagles have a long tradition in the continental competition, winning it three times, and in the last edition they finished second. Osimhen, Lookman and co. want to give a signal right away to all their other rivals: despite failing to qualify for the World Cup, they remain formidable. Tanzania has never managed to qualify beyond the first round of the Cup and is hunting for the feat.
Super Eagles with trident Chukwueze, Osimhen, Lookman, in midfield are Onyedika, Nidid, Iwobi. The full-backs will be Osay and Zaidu.
