The Super Eagles recently suffered a 2-1 defeat to Egypt in their only pre-AFCON friendly at the Cairo International Stadium on Tuesday; they look to build momentum once they arrive in Fez.

Nigeria will face the Taifa Stars of Tanzania in their opening fixture next Tuesday, before taking on Tunisia’s Carthage Eagles on December 27 and the Uganda Cranes on December 30. The Super Eagles will play all their group games at the Grand Stade de Fèz.
