AFCON Semi-Final: Super Eagles Eye Final Berth in Historic Clash with Host Morocco
Nigeria’s Super Eagles are one step away from the final of the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations as they prepare to face host nation Morocco in a high-stakes semi-final clash on Wednesday night in Rabat.
The match, set for the Prince Moulay Abdellah Stadium, pits the tournament’s best attack against its strongest defense. Nigeria leads all teams with 14 goals, powered by Victor Osimhen and Ademola Lookman, while Morocco has conceded only once.
History adds intrigue: Morocco leads the AFCON head-to-head 3-2, but their last meeting was 22 years ago. Nigeria seeks a ninth final appearance and their second consecutive final, aiming to redeem last edition’s runner-up finish. Morocco, buoyed by home support, eyes a third final in their history.
Key absences will test both sides: Nigeria misses suspended captain Wilfred Ndidi, while Morocco will be without injured midfielder Azzedine Ounahi.
Lagos-based journalist Femi Fabunmi tipped Nigeria for victory, citing their “squad depth” and predicting a 3-1 win.
