Nigeria will begin their quest for a fourth Africa Cup of Nations title when the 2025 AFCON kicks off in Morocco.
The Super Eagles, who lost 2-1 to hosts Côte d’Ivoire in the final of the last edition, are drawn in Group C alongside Tunisia, Tanzania and Uganda.
Nigeria are regarded as one of the favourites to go far in the tournament and will be aiming to finish top of the group and advance to the knockout stage.
Their campaign will open against Tanzania before clashes with North African rivals Tunisia and East African side Uganda.
The top two teams in the group will qualify automatically for the Round of 16, with four best third-placed teams also advancing.
