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.

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.

Burkina Faso sack coach Traore after AFCON 2025 exit
