Nigeria’s Super Eagles are set to kick off their Africa Cup of Nations 2025 campaign tonight against Tanzania, with kick-off scheduled for 6:30 PM WAT in Fès, Morocco.
The Super Eagles enter the match as favourites, having never lost to Tanzania in their history. Out of seven previous encounters, Nigeria have recorded four wins and three draws, giving them a clear historical advantage. Coupled with a strong record in opening AFCON games, winning 13 of their last 20, Nigeria fans have reason for optimism.
Tanzania, making their fourth AFCON appearance, will be looking to cause an upset. However, the East Africans have yet to secure a win at the finals, making tonight’s task a challenging one. Key players like Mbwana Samatta and Simon Msuva will be crucial if Tanzania hopes to trouble the Super Eagles.
Nigerian supporters will be hoping for a commanding start to the tournament, as the Super Eagles aim to assert early dominance in Group C and set the tone for a strong AFCON campaign.
