Super Eagles Return to Fez Ahead of AFCON Semi-Final Showdown with Morocco

Nigeria’s Super Eagles on Sunday arrived back at their base in Fez, Morocco, as preparations begin for their Africa Cup of Nations 2025 semi-final clash against tournament hosts, Morocco.

The team’s return came less than 24 hours after their impressive 2-0 victory over Algeria in Saturday’s quarter-final match in Marrakech.

A video shared on the Super Eagles’ official X page showed the players stepping off a Royal Air Maroc flight under clear skies. The squad appeared relaxed and in good spirits, dressed in matching grey puffer jackets and tracksuits, with Victor Osimhen among those seen disembarking with their luggage.
