Nigeria’s Super Eagles have released their starting line-up for Saturday’s 2025 Africa Cup of Nations quarter-final showdown against Algeria at the Stade de Marrakech.
Victor Osimhen leads the attack, supported by Ademola Lookman and Akor Adams, as Nigeria look to break down Algeria’s disciplined defence with their firepower up front.
In midfield, Wilfred Ndidi captains the side and anchors the team, providing balance between defence and attack. He is joined by Alex Iwobi and Bruno, who are expected to drive creativity and control the tempo of the game.
At the back, Stanley Nwabali starts in goal, with a defensive setup that includes Bright Osayi-Samuel and Semi Ajayi, as the Eagles aim to stay compact against Algeria’s threats.
The bench boasts depth and experience, with the likes of Francis Uzoho, Samuel Chukwueze and Chidozie Awaziem available to make an impact if called upon.
The selected line-up underlines Nigeria’s attacking intent as they prepare for a high-stakes battle against Algeria, with a semi-final place firmly in sight.
