Nigeria’s Super Eagles are back to Fez, Morocco, on Sunday, January 11, 2026, buzzing with momentum ahead of their high-voltage Africa Cup of Nations 2025 semifinal against the host Atlas Lions.
This return caps a flawless quarterfinal performance, where the Eagles crushed Algeria 2-0 in Marrakech just 24 hours earlier, setting the stage for a tense North African derby.
Video of their arrival, shared on the Super Eagles’ X handle, shows the players disembarking from a Royal Air Maroc flight under clear skies, dressed in matching grey puffer jackets and tracksuits, carrying personal luggage as they descended the aircraft stairs, Punch newspaper writes.
The footage, it added, captures the squad in high spirits, with star striker Victor Osimhen visible among the group.
In the accompanying post, the Super Eagles wrote, “The Super Eagles return to Fez. A recovery session is scheduled for tonight at the Saardienne Football Complex. #SuperEagles #AFCON2025 #Naija4TheWin.”
In Marrakech, Osimhen’s leaping header and his setup for Jerome Akor’s goal sealed the win, eliminating Algeria and propelling Nigeria to their 16th AFCON semifinal appearance, Punch states.
Nigeria will face Morocco at Prince Moulay Abdellah Stadium in Rabat on Wednesday, January 14, at 9 pm local time.
