AFCON 2025: Full Schedule Of Super Eagles’ Group C Matches Vs Tanzania, Tunisia And Uganda

By Admin 

Nigeria’s Super Eagles will begin their Africa Cup of Nations group-stage campaign with high expectations as they target a strong run at AFCON 2025. Drawn in Group C, Nigeria will face Tanzania, Tunisia and Uganda in a series of fixtures that are competitive yet favourable on paper, BSNSports.com.ng reports.

Each of the three matches is expected to play a significant role in shaping Nigeria’s route to the knockout phase, with early momentum likely to prove crucial.

Nigeria vs Tanzania – December 23 (18:30)

The Super Eagles will open their campaign against Tanzania on December 23, with kick-off scheduled for 18:30. The fixture offers Nigeria an opportunity to lay down an early marker in the group.

While Tanzania enter the contest as underdogs, opening matches are often unpredictable. Nigeria will be expected to dominate possession, apply sustained pressure and secure maximum points to build confidence ahead of sterner tests.

Nigeria vs Tunisia – December 27 (21:00)

Nigeria’s second group match pits them against Tunisia on December 27 at 21:00 in what is widely regarded as the toughest fixture in Group C.

Tunisia are known for their tactical organisation and defensive discipline, qualities that have often troubled top African sides. The Super Eagles will need to be defensively solid and clinically efficient in attack. A positive result could significantly strengthen Nigeria’s chances of early qualification.

Uganda vs Nigeria – December 30 (17:00)

The final group encounter will see Nigeria face Uganda on December 30, with kick-off at 17:00. The outcome of this match could prove decisive, depending on results from the opening two fixtures.

Uganda are recognised for their physical style and high work rate, and Nigeria will need to maintain focus and composure to avoid any late complications and secure a strong finish to the group stage.
