Sports News of Wednesday, 31 December 2025Source: www.ghanaweb.comThe Super Eagles of Nigeria are set to face some of Africa’s football giants as they head into the knockout stage of the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON). If the Super Eagles manage to overcome their quarter‑final opponents, the path becomes even tougher, as they could meet either the hosts or one of the favorites in the competition. Thus, in the semi‑finals, Nigeria could face either hosts Morocco or South Africa’s Bafana Bafana, which would be a cagey encounter. The Super Eagles boast stars such as Victor Osimhen of Galatasaray, Ademola Lookman of Atalanta, Alex Iwobi, Calvin Bassey of Fulham, and veteran goalkeeper Stanley Nwabali. Nigeria are determined to win their fourth AFCON title to appease fans after missing out on the 2026 World Cup, but they face a tough road ahead.
