AFCON 2025: Super Eagles starting XI vs Mozambique 

Nigeria will be expected to progress to the quarter-finals of the Africa Cup of Nations as they face Mozambique in the last 16.

The Super Eagles, who missed out on qualification for the 2026 World Cup, surged through the group stages, claiming three wins from three in Group C.

As such, they are the heavy favourites to see off a Mozambique side that progressed in third place in Group F and is competing in the knockout rounds for the first time.
