Super Eagles' AFCON Squad Announcement Delayed Amid Lobbying Pressure
The Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) faced delays in announcing the Super Eagles' AFCON squad for Morocco 2025 due to lobbying pressure. The NFF had to meet CAF's deadline for submitting the squad list, risking sanctions for missing the cutoff.
The squad announcement was expected on December 11, with the team set to open training camp in Cairo. Nigeria will face Egypt in a friendly match on December 14 before their AFCON campaign begins on December 23 against Tanzania.
