Nigeria have won their first two matches at the 2025 AFCON
The Super Eagles of Nigeria take on Uganda in their final group game of the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) on December 30, 2025.
Nigeria will look to continue their excellent start to the tournament after winning their first two matches in the group stage, securing qualification for the knockout phase.
The Super Eagles have scored five goals and conceded three in their opening two games, with Victor Osimhen, Ademola Lookman, and other key players making their marks at the tournament.

Since the result will not affect Nigeria’s qualification, some fringe players are expected to be given the opportunity to showcase their talents.
Meanwhile, Uganda’s chances of progressing looks slim after collecting just one point from two matches, following disappointing performances.
The Cranes could change their fortunes if they manage to upset Nigeria with a win, which would give them four points. They would then hope for a favorable result in the Tunisia vs Tanzania game to secure qualification.
In Group C, Nigeria lead with six points, followed by Tunisia with three. Tanzania are third with one point, while Uganda sit bottom with the same tally.
Apart from Nigeria, who have already qualified, the final group matches will determine which other teams advance to the knockout stage.
