The Super Eagles of Nigeria are set to discover their opponents for the 2027 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) qualifiers on May 19, as confirmed by the Confederation of African Football (CAF). A total of 48 countries will participate in this qualifying series, which includes co-host nations Kenya, Tanzania, and Uganda.

The teams will be drawn into 12 groups, with the top two teams from each group advancing to the tournament. The 2027 AFCON is scheduled to kick off on June 19, 2027, and the final match is set for July 17, 2027.

However, CAF has yet to announce the venue for the opening match and the final. The Super Eagles are expected to approach the qualifiers following a third-place finish in the 2025 edition of the tournament, which is being hosted by Morocco.
