Nigeria vs Tanzania: Predict and win N100,000 with P.M. NEWS

Last edition’s runners-up, Nigeria, will open their 1XBET Africa Cup of Nations campaign against Tanzania on Tuesday at the Fez Stadium in Morocco.

The Super Eagles, who narrowly lost 2–1 to hosts Côte d’Ivoire in the final of the previous tournament, will be eager to go one better this time as they begin another quest for continental glory. The tournament also offers Nigeria an opportunity to restore confidence following the disappointment of failing to qualify for the 2026 FIFA World Cup.

Nigeria arrived at the competition under far greater pressure than their Tanzanian opponents. The pain of missing out on the World Cup was compounded by a 2–1 friendly defeat to Egypt last Tuesday, which brought an end to an otherwise encouraging run of seven matches that included five victories, factoring in their extra-time win over Gabon.

Despite recent setbacks, the Super Eagles remain one of the most formidable teams on the continent, and their opening clash against Tanzania promises excitement. While the outcome is difficult to predict, fans can expect an entertaining and attack-minded contest from both sides.

The match is scheduled for 5:30 pm GMT (6:30 pm WAT) on Tuesday, December 23, 2025, at the Complexe Sportif de Fès, Fez.
