AFCON 2025: Super Eagles land in Rabat ahead of semi-final clash
Nigeria’s Super Eagles have arrived in Rabat ahead of their Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) 2025 semi-final match scheduled for Wednesday.
The team travelled by road from Fez to the Moroccan capital. This was confirmed in a video shared on Monday on X by popular Nigerian sports photographer Sulaimon Adebayo, also known as Pooja.
The video showed the players and team officials inside an official AFCON team bus moving through the city.
“Super Eagles arrive Rabat by road from Fez ahead of their clash with Morocco on Wednesday,” Pooja wrote with the video.
Nigeria will take on host country Morocco in the semi-final on Wednesday at the Prince Moulay Abdellah Stadium in Rabat, with a place in the final up for grabs.
The Super Eagles’ arrival signals the start of final preparations for the crucial encounter against the Atlas Lions, who will enjoy home support in the high-profile last-four fixture.
Nigeria have impressed so far in the competition and will be aiming to overcome the hosts to book a place in the final, as the team continues its quest for continental glory.
Preparations are expected to intensify in Rabat in the build-up to Wednesday’s match, as the Super Eagles fine-tune tactics and conditioning ahead of what promises to be a fiercely contested semi-final showdown.
