AFCON 2025: Who Will the Super Eagles Meet in the Round of 16?

Nigeria’s Super Eagles became the second team to qualify for the AFCON 2025 round of 16 after a thrilling 3-2 victory over Tunisia on Saturday. The win gave Nigeria six points from two matches, confirming them as Group C winners ahead of their final group game against Uganda.

With qualification sealed, attention has shifted to who the Super Eagles could face in the knockout stage. According to the tournament bracket, the Group C winners will meet one of the best third-placed teams from Groups A, B, or F.

Group A appears an unlikely source, with low points totals expected. Group B could produce Angola as a surprise contender if results fall their way. However, Group F looks the most likely, with Mozambique strongly placed to advance as one of the best third-placed teams.

All will be confirmed after the final group matches conclude on Wednesday.
