Nigeria take on Uganda at the Fez Stadium in Fes, Morocco, on Tuesday, December 30, in the final round of the Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) 2025 group stage.
The Super Eagles have already booked their place in the knockout rounds, assured of the top spot in Group C. Uganda, meanwhile, face a must-win scenario to keep their tournament alive.
Nigeria have collected six points from two matches, sealing qualification with games to spare. Uganda, meanwhile, sit bottom of the group and must defeat the group leaders to stay in contention for progression as one of the best third-placed teams.
Nigeria’s AFCON campaign has been defined by attacking sharpness mixed with moments of vulnerability. Eric Chelle’s side began with a 2-1 victory over Tanzania, before edging Tunisia 3-2 in a high-scoring encounter that highlighted both their quality and fragility.
Goals from Victor Osimhen, Wilfred Ndidi, and Ademola Lookman had placed Nigeria firmly in command against Tunisia, only for late concessions to turn a comfortable outing into a tense finish. Despite those lapses, Nigeria’s form remains imposing, with seven wins from their last ten matches.
Uganda approach the fixture under heavy pressure. The Cranes have one point from two games, sitting behind Tanzania on goal difference after a 3-1 loss to Tunisia and a 1-1 draw against Tanzania.
That draw proved especially costly, with Allan Okello missing a stoppage-time penalty that could have dramatically altered Uganda’s position in the group. Playing at their first AFCON finals since 2019, Paul Put’s side have struggled to find consistency, registering just one win in their last ten AFCON matches.
Unless Uganda can pull off an upset, a fifth group-stage exit in eight AFCON appearances appears likely. However, with Nigeria expected to rest key players after sealing top spot, Uganda will look to capitalise on any drop in intensity from the Super Eagles.
Uganda vs Nigeria: Head-To-Head Records
