The Super Eagles will begin their 2025 AFCON qualifying campaign in September with a tricky trip to Libya.

Both teams clashed in a 2019 AFCON qualifying tournament.

Nigeria beat the North Africans 4-0 at home as well as 3-2 in Sfax, Tunisia in the reverse tie.

Matchday 1 and 2 will be played between September 2 and 10.

Two qualifiers will also be played in October and November.

Nigeria are top seeds in Group D along with 2026 World Cup qualifying rivals Benin and Rwanda as well as Libya.

The top two teams will qualify for the AFCON to be staged by Morocco between December 21, 2025, and January 18, 2026.
