The Super Eagles of Nigeria will face the Pharaohs of Egypt<\/a> on Tuesday in their sole preparatory fixture ahead of the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations, Soccernet.ng reports.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Going into the AFCON, \u200bboth teams have a significant point to prove, as Egypt have not won the competition since 2010, and Nigeria’s last victory was in 2013.<\/p>\n

However, the game might not accurately reflect the true capabilities of either side due to the absence of several key players.<\/p>\n

For Nigeria, it is unlikely that regulars like Wilfred Ndidi, Victor Osimhen, Samuel Chukwueze, and a few others will be available to play.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Egypt will also likely miss the services of one of their best players like Omar Marmoush and possibly Mohamed Salah. Still, it promises to be a spectacle.<\/p>\n
