The Super Eagles have been drawn against familiar foes the Benin Republic in the qualification race for the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON).
Placed in Group D, the Super Eagles face Benin Republic who defeated them recently in a 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers.
In the draw ceremony held in Johannesburg, South Africa on Thursday, Nigeria will also play Libya and Rwanda – who are also part of the Super Eagles’ lot for the race to the next FIFA World Cup in the USA, Canada, and Mexico in two years.
The qualifiers for the 2025 AFCON will begin in September and end in November 2025. But the competition will hold between 21 December 2025 and 18 January 2026.
