Nigeria’s Super Eagles have qualified for the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations with two games to spare in the qualifying series.
The Super Eagles with 10 points in the kitty are assured a top two finish following the shock lone goal victory recorded by Libya in the Group D match away to Rwanda in Kigali.
The Super Eagles are billed to face Benin Republic’s Cheetahs Thursday night in Abidjan before returning home to round off their qualifying campaign against Rwanda on Monday.
Neither Rwanda on five points nor Libya who are now on four points can do enough to overtake the Super Eagles with only one matchday left to play for the two teams.
