Super Eagles' Christantus Uche to Miss AFCON 2025 Due to FIFA Rule

Nigerian footballer Christantus Uche will miss AFCON 2025 due to FIFA's strict two-club rule, preventing him from moving to a new club before January. Uche's situation at Crystal Palace has been affected by this regulation, hindering his participation in the upcoming tournament in Morocco.

Meanwhile, Victor Osimhen's availability for AFCON remains uncertain as he recovers from a hamstring injury. The Nigerian national team is drawn in Group C alongside Tanzania, Tunisia, and Uganda for the tournament starting on December 23, 2025.
