**Nigeria Set for Crucial AFCON Qualifier Against Libya in Uyo**
The stage is set for the Super Eagles of Nigeria as they face Libya’s Mediterranean Knights in a crucial 2025 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) qualifier at Akwa Ibom Stadium, Uyo. This matchup holds significant weight in Group D, where Nigeria currently tops the group with four points, while Libya sits at the bottom with just one.
Nigeria’s Super Eagles are coming off a strong start, having secured a 3-0 win over Benin Republic and a goalless draw against Rwanda in their opening qualifiers. In contrast, Libya has struggled, managing only a 1-1 draw at home against Rwanda and a loss to Benin, leaving them with just one point.
The Super Eagles hold a psychological edge, winning all previous matches against the Mediterranean Knights, but Libya will be determined to turn the tide and secure a result in Uyo.
The match kicks off on Friday, October 11, 2024, at 5 PM local time, and will be broadcast live on AfroSport TV. Despite the absence of star striker Victor Osimhen, who has been in great form since joining Galatasaray, Nigeria will look to continue their unbeaten run as they edge closer to AFCON qualification.
