Nigeria, Egypt set for fierce AFCON bronze battle in Casablanca

Nigeria and Egypt will renew one of African football’s most storied rivalries on Saturday when they clash in the AFCON 2025 third‑place playoff at Stade Mohammed V in Casablanca. Both giants head into the bronze‑medal tie nursing semi final heartbreak but eager to salvage pride and finish on the podium.​ The Super Eagles fell to hosts Morocco on penalties after a gruelling 120‑minute stalemate, while the Pharaohs were edged by Senegal in a tight contest decided late in the second half. Analysts say the playoff could be more open and attacking, with both teams likely to rotate slightly but still field strong line‑ups packed with top European‑based stars.​ History favours Nigeria, who boast a perfect record in AFCON third‑place games and have never lost a bronze match at the tournament. However, Egypt’s pedigree and desire to respond to another near‑miss […]

Super Eagles: Chelle challenged to continue Nigeria’s renaissance post AFCON

Despite Nigeria’s painful semi final exit at AFCON 2025, stakeholders have challenged Super Eagles head coach Eric Chelle to build on the team’s renewed identity and fighting spirit rather than allow the setback to derail recent progress. Many fans and analysts believe the squad’s high‑intensity displays, tactical organisation and improved mentality signal the beginning of a new era for Nigerian football.​ Chelle, appointed in January 2025 on a two‑year deal, has already expressed his desire to stay on, stressing that his long‑term project is to rebuild the Super Eagles into a consistent force in Africa and beyond. However, he admitted that his future rests with the Nigeria Football Federation, which must now decide whether to retain him and consolidate on the gains of the tournament.​ Supporters are urging continuity in technical leadership, better youth development and sustained integration of talented […]

Reality star Adekunle blasts referee, says Nigeria was robbed

Reality TV star Adekunle Olopade has slammed the officiating in Nigeria’s AFCON 2025 semi final loss, insisting the Super Eagles were “robbed” by controversial decisions from Ghanaian referee Daniel Laryea. In a post shared on X, he argued that key calls went against Nigeria at crucial moments and altered the outcome of the game.​ Adekunle faulted the referee for what he described as soft bookings and inconsistent foul calls that disrupted Nigeria’s rhythm. He also questioned a late decision that went in favour of the opposition, claiming it killed any chance of a Super Eagles comeback.​ The reality star said Nigerians have every right to feel aggrieved, given the high stakes and the team’s strong performances throughout the tournament. He urged football authorities to improve officiating standards at major competitions to protect players’ efforts and fans’ trust in the game.​

AFCON 2025: Top scorers after semi final round

The race for the AFCON 2025 Golden Boot is led by Morocco’s Brahim Díaz, who sits top of the scoring chart with five goals after the semi final matches. The Real Madrid forward has been the standout attacking player for the hosts, keeping his place at the summit despite failing to score in the last four.​ Nigeria’s Victor Osimhen and Egypt’s Mohamed Salah are tied in second place with four goals each.

Burkina Faso sack coach Traore after AFCON 2025 exit

Burkina Faso have sacked head coach Brama Traore and his entire backroom staff following the team’s exit from the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations. The Burkina Faso Football Federation announced the decision on Wednesday, citing the need for a new direction after a disappointing last 16 elimination.​ Traore, 63, took charge of the Stallions in March 2024, replacing Frenchman Hubert Velud, who was also dismissed after a last 16 exit at the previous AFCON. Under his watch, Burkina Faso failed to reach the quarter finals, losing 3–0 to defending champions Ivory Coast in the knockout phase.​ In the wake of the defeat, Traore admitted that his tactics did not work and took responsibility for the poor performance. He also blamed the team’s struggles on the absence of several key players and said the squad lacked intensity and desire on the […]

Osimhen inches closer to Yekini’s goal scoring record

Super Eagles striker Victor Osimhen is now just two goals away from equalling Rashidi Yekini’s long standing goal record for Nigeria after scoring in the 2–0 AFCON 2025 quarter final victory over Algeria.

CAF opens disciplinary probe after Nigeria’s win over Algeria

The Confederation of African Football has opened a disciplinary investigation into incidents that followed Nigeria’s 2–0 victory over Algeria in the AFCON 2025 quarterfinals in Morocco. CAF said its disciplinary board is reviewing reports from match officials, security personnel and media representatives before deciding on sanctions.​ Tensions reportedly boiled over at full time, with several Algerian players and officials confronting referee Issa Sy and his assistants over disputed decisions.
