Nigeria look to continue their strong start to qualifying for the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations as they host Libya this evening. The Super Eagles sit top of Group D, having beaten Benin in September and then played out a goalless draw with Rwanda, and it already leaves them well-placed to ensure they are in Morocco next year.
Augustine Eguavoen remains in charge of Nigeria, who will be grateful to focus on AFCON matters rather than their 2026 World Cup qualifying campaign. They sit fifth in that particular qualifying group, having won none of their first four matches, and they are in huge danger of missing out on another World Cup.
The Super Eagles are firm favourites to get the job done this afternoon having won their last four matches against Libya, who have not earned a place at AFCON since 2012. Follow all the action with Standard Sport’s LIVE blog below!
