The Super Eagles have leaned on the attacking trio of Ademola Lookman, Victor Osimhen, and Akor Adams, whose mix of power, movement, and finishing has fueled Nigeria’s unbeaten run. Nigeria swept the group stage with wins over Tanzania, Tunisia, and Uganda, crushed Mozambique 4-0 in the round of 16, and then eliminated Algeria to secure a place in the semifinals.

Morocco reached this stage after a composed 2-0 win over Cameroon in the quarterfinals, showing control in key moments. Morocco have been led by Brahim Díaz, who has scored in all five matches at AFCON 2025 and has emerged as a constant attacking threat. Backed by home support and strong momentum, Morocco view this semifinal as a prime opportunity to move one step closer to the final.
