Nigeria vs Tanzania LIVE!

Afcon continues this evening as the Super Eagles kick off their campaign in Group C. Nigeria arrive at the Africa Cup of Nations hoping to bounce back swiftly from their World Cup heartbreak, having lost on penalties to DR Congo in the CAF play-off final last month. While that result is being disputed, it represented a second successive qualification failure and led to questions over the future of head coach Eric Chelle, with captain William Troost-Ekong also retiring from international football.

Wilfred Ndidi now has the armband as Nigeria go to Morocco seeking a fourth Afcon title and first since 2013 in South Africa, having been bested in the final by hosts Ivory Coast in 2024. With Victor Osimhen leading their attack, they are once again among the favourites for glory, though could face stern competition from Tunisia in their group.

Tanzania sacked their previous manager just a month out from this tournament and are now led by Argentine Miguel Angel Gamondi, who will hope to guide the Taifa Stars to their first-ever win at Afcon after three previous appearances in which they failed to produce a single victory.
