Nigeria’s Super Eagles qualify for 2025 AFCON… Defeating Rwanda 1-0 in Kigali

The Super Eagles have qualified for the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) despite having one game left in the race to the competition.

Libya, bottom of the Group D lot, defeated Rwanda 0-1 in Kigali, meaning Nigeria have reached the finals of the tournament.

The defeat means Rwanda are five points shy of the Super Eagles with just a game to spare in the qualification series.

That leaves them unable to surpass Nigeria’s points tally even if they beat the Super Eagles in their next match in Uyo, Akwa Ibom on Monday.
