The Uganda national football team are now going to lock horns with the Nigeria national football team for their final group stage game of the 2025 AFCON. This contest is going to take place at the Complexe Sportif de Fès.

The Cranes have not managed to secure a win in their first two games of the ongoing African competition. They faced a defeat at the hands of Tunisia in their opening match and were then held to a draw by Tanzania. The Uganda national football team is going to be under pressure coming into their next one.

The Nigeria national football team have won both of their first two AFCON games. They first took down Tanzania and then edged past Tunisia in their second one. The Super Eagles have performed well and will be keen to continue their run of form. They will be full of confidence as they have already qualified for the round of 16.

Players to Watch

Uche Ikpeazu (Uganda)

Ikpeazu will be looking to come up with a top performance so that he can stand a chance in their upcoming game.

Vicor Osimhen (Nigeria)
