2025 AFCONQ: Nigeria vs Libya – where to stream, time, date

Published

on

The much-anticipated 2025 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) qualifier between Nigeria’s Super Eagles and Libya’s Mediterranean Knights is scheduled for October 11, 2024, at the Akwa Ibom Stadium in Uyo.

This match is crucial for Group D, marking a significant moment as international football returns to screens across the continent.

After two matchdays, Nigeria currently leads the group with four points, while Libya sits at the bottom with just one point.

The Super Eagles are in excellent form, remaining undefeated in their first two qualifiers. They kicked off their campaign with a commanding 3-0 victory over Benin Republic and followed it up with a goalless draw against Rwanda.

On the other hand, Libya has struggled in the group stages. The Mediterranean Knights managed to secure a 1-1 draw in their home opener against Rwanda but faced a setback with a defeat against Benin, leaving them with only one point.

Nigeria’s solid start places them in a favorable position to qualify for the 2025 AFCON tournament.

Historically, the Super Eagles have a psychological advantage, having won all previous encounters with Libya.

However, the Mediterranean Knights are determined to defy expectations, aiming for at least a draw in Uyo.

Despite being the favorites, Nigeria will be without their star forward Victor Osimhen, who has been in exceptional form since joining Galatasaray. His absence may challenge the team’s attacking capabilities.
