The 2025 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) qualifier between Nigeria’s Super Eagles and Libya’s Mediterranean Knights is set for October 11, 2024, at Akwa Ibom Stadium in Uyo, with kick-off at 5 PM local time.
Nigeria currently leads Group D with four points, having secured a convincing 3-0 victory over Benin Republic and a goalless draw against Rwanda. In contrast, Libya sits at the bottom of the group with one point after a 1-1 draw against Rwanda and a loss to Benin.
Historically, Nigeria has a strong advantage, winning all previous encounters with Libya. However, the absence of top forward Victor Osimhen, due to his form at Galatasaray, may challenge Nigeria’s attack. Despite being the favorites, Nigeria will need to perform well to ensure a win against a determined Libyan side looking to secure at least a draw.
