Nigeria have made it into the semi-finals of AFCON 2025 and with a clash against Morocco, one can still see the Super Eagles going all the way.
Are the Super Eagles of Nigeria the team to beat at AFCON 2025? Not really. They are just one of the teams to beat and this category includes Senegal, Egypt and Morocco.
The team to beat, to answer the question in this article, is Morocco. The Atlas Lions are the hosts, they have played formidably well and were outright favorites to win the competition, before it even kicked off.
Nigeria have worked their way into the semifinals and they deserve all the credit. After a scintillating performance in the group stage, they have turned the heat up a little in the knockout stages.
The manner of play with which they beat Algeria 2-0 left the North Africans stunned. They didn’t expect to be outclassed in this manner and with four teams left, Nigeria definitely has a claim for the title.
While Morocco may be the team to beat, Nigeria is one team that can stop them. Both Nigeria and Morocco have shown that they can play high level football and the caliber of players in both teams could have the stadium on its feet for 120 minutes.
The semi-final clash between both teams is billed to shift the atmosphere at AFCON 2025 and both teams are capable of beating each other.
Honestly, whoever wins becomes the team to beat and could become eventual champions of the African continent.
