Nigeria will face Tanzania in their AFCON 2025 opener on December 23 at Fez Stadium, Morocco, following a disappointing World Cup qualification. The Super Eagles, featuring stars like Victor Osimhen and Ademola Lookman, aim to redeem themselves after missing the 2026 World Cup. Tanzania, under interim coach Miguel Gamondi, seeks their first AFCON victory, having never progressed beyond the group stage in past appearances. Key players include Nigeria’s Wilfred Ndidi and Tanzania’s Mbwana Samatta as both teams look to make a strong start in Group C.
