Nigeria’s Super Eagles secured their spot in the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) after Rwanda’s 1-0 defeat to Libya on Thursday.
Libya triumphed over Rwanda at the Amahoro Stadium in Kigali, with Fahd Saad Mohamed scoring the decisive goal in the 84th minute to silence the home crowd.
This result came just ahead of Nigeria’s upcoming AFCON qualifier against Benin Republic at the Stade de Houphouet Boigny in Abidjan.
