Super Eagles face final dilemma as Calvin Bassey risks missing showdown if Nigeria topples Morocco


Nigeria’s Super Eagles stand on the brink of AFCON 2025 glory, but victory over Morocco in their crucial semi-final clash could come at a steep price. Should Eric Chele side defeat the Atlas Lions and secure a spot in the final, star defender Calvin Bassey will sit out the decider after accumulating a yellow card.

The incident unfolded in the heated #NIGMOR showdown when Bassey fouled Morocco’s Brahim Diaz, earning his booking in a match brimming with intensity. Bassey’s absence would be a massive blow – the versatile Fulham center-back has been a rock at the back, anchoring Nigeria’s defense through the tournament’s knockout stages.

With the stakes sky-high, the Super Eagles must navigate this disciplinary tightrope.
