The Super Eagles of Nigeria will face Benin, Libya and Rwanda in Group D of the qualifiers for the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON qualifiers) in Morocco as unveiled yesterday at the draw ceremony in Johannesburg, South Africa.

The 2025 AFCON will be played from December 21, 2025 to January 18, 2026, following the decision of Confederation of African Football, CAF, to adjust the schedule of the tournament for the congested FIFA calendar.

It will be the first time in Nations Cup history that the tournament will kick off in December and run over the Christmas and New Year periods.

Winners and runners-up qualify from each group except that containing Morocco, who will take part to gain competitive match practice.

Morocco qualify automatically as hosts so only the best placed of the other three teams in their section will secure a place.
