The Digest:

The Super Eagles will face Egypt on Tuesday in their only pre-AFCON 2025 friendly, a fixture set to test both sides’ readiness despite likely absences of key stars.

Key Points:
  • The match kicks off at 7 PM Nigerian time at the 75,000-seat Cairo International Stadium.
  • Broadcast details remain unconfirmed; such friendlies are often not televised.
  • Fans are advised to check streaming platforms or the NFF TV channel for possible coverage.
  • Both nations seek to end trophy droughts: Egypt last won AFCON in 2010, Nigeria in 2013.
  • The game is Nigeria’s sole warm-up before heading to Morocco for the tournament.
  • A large turnout is expected despite the non-competitive nature of the fixture.
As both teams navigate injury and availability storms, the friendly represents a critical, if incomplete, step toward continental readiness, a glimpse of shape, not final form.
