AFCON 2025 : le Nigeria affronte l’Égypte au Caire en amical
A few days before the kick-off of the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations, Nigeria’s Super Eagles face Egypt’s Pharaohs in Cairo in a warm-up match aimed at fine-tuning their final preparations.
Nigeria and Egypt meet this Tuesday evening at Cairo International Stadium for a high-profile friendly serving as a final rehearsal before the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations. The match will allow both sides to refine their setups, with the goal of assessing new profiles and testing certain tactical options ahead of the continental tournament. On the Nigerian side, coach Éric Chelle used the occasion to expand his squad, calling up several new faces, including Ebenezer Akinsanmiro, Usman Mohammed, Tochukwu Nnadi, Ryan Alebiosu and Salim Fago Lawal.
These players are expected to get playing time against the Pharaohs, in a match that also serves as a full-scale test for those hoping to establish themselves in the Super Eagles’ rotation. Competition looks set to be fierce within a squad in reconstruction, where every performance counts. Kick-off is scheduled for 8:00 PM local time in Cairo for a duel that promises to be as instructive as it is symbolic between two giants of African football.
