Egypt vs Nigeria friendly shifted to December 16

The international friendly between Egypt and Nigeria has been rescheduled for 16 December, according to Egyptian Football Association Vice President Khaled El Darandaly.​ The game, originally set for 14 December, was moved after FIFA confirmed that clubs are only required to release players for the Africa Cup of Nations from 15 December, prompting both teams to adjust plans so key stars like Mohamed Salah and Omar Marmoush can feature.​ The match forms part of final preparations for AFCON 2025 in Morocco, where seven time champions Egypt have been drawn in Group B alongside South Africa, Angola and Zimbabwe, with a 28 man preliminary squad already named by coach Hossam Hassan.

Nigeria’s Egypt friendly in doubt as NFF moves AFCON camp to Morocco

Nigeria’s build up to the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations has been disrupted after a late FIFA directive forced the Nigeria Football Federation to redraw its pre tournament schedule, putting the high profile friendly against Egypt in serious doubt.​ FIFA has issued a new circular allowing European clubs to keep African players until 15 December instead of 8 December, cutting national team preparation time and upsetting earlier plans.​ The Super Eagles were initially due to open camp in Cairo on 10 December and face the Pharaohs in a friendly at the Cairo International Stadium four days later, before flying to Morocco for their final preparations.​ With the new FIFA dates, the NFF has now drafted a fresh schedule under which the Super Eagles will open camp on 14 December, just one week before AFCON kicks off, and will hold their […]

Troost Ekong explains decision to retire from Super Eagles

Former Super Eagles captain William Troost Ekong has explained why he chose to retire from international football ahead of the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations in Morocco.​ The 32 year old centre back officially ended almost a decade of service to Nigeria on Thursday, even though he was named in coach Eric Chelle’s provisional squad for next year’s AFCON.​ Troost Ekong said he felt it was the right moment to step aside and allow a younger generation of defenders to take over, noting that the team already has strong leaders who are ready to carry the mantle.​ He described his decision as part of a natural progression, adding that there is “an art in knowing when to step away”, even if part of him would have loved to lift the AFCON trophy and play at one more World Cup.​ The […]

Benjamin Fredrick ruled out of AFCON 2025

Super Eagles defender Benjamin Fredrick has been ruled out of the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations after suffering a knee injury during a training session with his club. The setback is a major blow for Nigeria, as the youngster was one of the standout performers in the country’s unsuccessful bid to qualify for the 2026 World Cup.​ Fredrick, who is on the books of English club Brentford, is currently on loan at Belgian side Dender FC for the 2025–26 season to gain first-team experience.
