Egypt vs Nigeria’s Super Eagles
The Super Eagles of Nigeria will face the Pharaohs of Egypt on Tuesday in their sole preparatory fixture ahead of the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations, Soccernet.ng reports.
Going into the AFCON, both teams have a significant point to prove, as Egypt have not won the competition since 2010, and Nigeria’s last victory was in 2013.
However, the game might not accurately reflect the true capabilities of either side due to the absence of several key players.

For Nigeria, it is unlikely that regulars like Wilfred Ndidi, Victor Osimhen, Samuel Chukwueze, and a few others will be available to play.

Meanwhile, Egypt will also likely miss the services of one of their best players like Omar Marmoush and possibly Mohamed Salah. Still, it promises to be a spectacle.
