Lineup confirmed for the round of 16

Nigeria should qualify for the quarter-finals of the African Cup of Nations as they face Mozambique in the last 16.

The Super Eagles, who missed out on qualifying for the 2026 World Cup, progressed through the group stages, winning three out of three in Group C.

As such, they are the big favorites to face a Mozambique team who have progressed to third place in Group F and are participating in the round of 16 for the first time.
