Nigeria Super Eagles qualify for AFCON 2025

In Thursday's last round of matches, three-time continental champions Nigeria became one of five teams to secure a spot in the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations (Afcon).

Ten-man Tunisia secured a record-extending 17th consecutive berth in the championships, scoring a 3-2 victory away against Madagascar in the 93rd minute.

Because of favorable group stage outcomes, Gabon, South Africa, and Uganda advanced to the next round without ever touching a ball.

Nigeria were assured of a spot in the group's top two before their away match against Benin began, thanks to Libya's 1-0 victory against Rwanda earlier in the day.

The Super Eagles rallied from a goal down to draw 1-1, thanks to Victor Osimhen's own goal. Consequently, Benin, Rwanda, and Libya all have a shot at qualifying for the tournament in Morocco in their last group-stage fixtures.

After Sudan's crushing 4-0 away loss to Niger, who resurrected their campaign, Ghana's aspirations of qualifying remain alive.

To advance from Group F, the Sudanese needed just one point.

If they want to play in the 2025 finals, the four-time African Cup of Nations champions Ghana will need to defeat Angola, who have already qualified, in Luanda on Friday night (5:00 GMT).
