CORE SUBJECT

Group D Teams in the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations

Nigeria, led by their top scorer Victor Osimhen, seeks to make up for another failed campaign in the World Cup qualifiers, and the fastest way to regain confidence will be to win the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations title in Morocco.

Since 1990, the Super Eagles have never failed to qualify for the World Cup twice in a row until this year.

After finishing second behind South Africa, who topped the group and qualified directly from Group C, Nigeria got a second chance as one of the four best runners-up.

Senegal, led by their veteran players and new coach Papiss Cissé, aims to restore the glory of their recent past by winning their second title in history as they enter the Africa Cup of Nations in Morocco in Group D alongside the Democratic Republic of Congo, Benin, and Botswana.

Senegal performed well six years ago with a promising generation when they reached the final of the 32nd edition in Egypt but lost 0-1 to Algeria.
