Nigeria’s Super Eagles secured a narrow but hard-fought 1-0 victory against Libya in their Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) 2025 Qualifying encounter at the Godswill Akpabio Stadium, Uyo.

Nigeria will face Libya again in the reverse fixture on 15th October 2024, in Benina, Libya, where they hope to continue their strong form in the qualifiers.
