Super Eagles’ Squad for Crucial AFCON 2025Q Match Against Benin Republic Announced
The Super Eagles of Nigeria are set to face Benin Republic in the Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) 2025 qualifiers, with the match taking place at the Godswill Akpabio International Stadium in Uyo, Nigeria.
This marks an important fixture for Nigeria, aiming to start their campaign on a strong note after a disappointing loss to Benin in their recent World Cup qualifiers under former Super Eagles coach Gernot Rohr, who now manages the Cheetahs.
Nigeria will be looking to avenge that loss and secure vital points in the qualification process. Notable players returning to the squad include Victor Osimhen and William Troost-Ekong, who missed the previous match due to injury​.
The match is expected to be competitive, with both teams having key motivations. Rohr’s deep knowledge of Nigeria’s squad is a significant subplot to the game.
