Nigeria Lineups vs Uganda OUT; AFCON 2025

Round 3 of the Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) 2025 Group Stages is here, as the Uganda national football team takes on Nigeria in what happens to be a very crucial Group C match at the Fez Stadium. Nigeria have already secured qualification to the next round while Uganda are in desperate need of a win to at least qualify as one of the best third-placed teams.

Uganda sits last in Group C with one loss and a draw out of their first two games. They had the chance to win it against Tanzania but failed to convert a stoppage-time penalty. Uganda's previous track record against the Super Eagles might give them some confidence, as they have won four of their last eight encounters against the Super Eagles.

The Nigeria National Football Team have already qualified for the next round with two wins in the group stages. They started off with a 2-1 win against Tanzania, before bagging a scrappy 3-2 win against Tunisia in their last game. Their attacking prowess has often been overshadowed by their defensive vulnerability, which the Super Eagles will look to correct before taking the field in the knockout stages.

Nigeria boasts some of the best talents, like Victor Osimhen, one of the best Nigerian players, alongside elite players plying their trade in some of the world's biggest leagues. In this article, Sportsdunia takes you on a tour of the Nigeria lineup vs Uganda and will also explore the players who are tasked with bagging all three points for Uganda.
