This marks a significant moment for the Super Eagles, as they return to the biennial competition after a six-year absence.
Their participation has sparked optimism among fans and stakeholders eager to see Nigeria’s local talents excel on the continental stage.
The tournament, co-hosted by Kenya, Tanzania, and Uganda, features 20 teams divided into four groups.
Groupings:
- Group A: Kenya, Morocco, Democratic Republic of Congo, Zambia.
- Group B: Tanzania, Madagascar, Mauritania, Burkina Faso, Central African Republic.
- Group C: Uganda (co-hosts), Niger, Guinea, with two additional teams set to join later.
