General News of Saturday, 27 December 2025Source: www.ghanaweb.comOne of the standout fixtures of the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations group stage takes place on Saturday, December 27, 2025, as Nigeria face Tunisia at the Complexe Sportif du Fes in Morocco. Dubbed the “Battle of the Eagles,” the clash brings together two former AFCON champions in what promises to be a tense and high-stakes encounter. It is only the second time Nigeria and Tunisia will meet at the AFCON group stage, the first being in 2000 when the Super Eagles defeated the Carthage Eagles 4-2, with current Tunisia coach Sami Trabelsi featuring in that match. Despite their pedigree, confidence within the Super Eagles camp appears measured, with Tunisia viewed as a dangerous and well-organised opponent. Kick-off is set for 8pm local time, with both teams eager to seize early control of their AFCON campaign.
