Former Nigerian international Nduka Ugbade believes the Super Eagles must work hard to qualify from a group that consists of Tunisia, Tanzania, and Uganda in the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations.
Recall that the tournament will take place from December 21 to January 18, 2026.
Nigeria is the most successful team in the group, having won the tournament three times and making their 21st appearance in Morocco. Uganda will play in their eighth tournament, while Tanzania has only played three times.
The most familiar of the opponents, Tunisia, eliminated Nigeria in the round of 16 in the 2021 tournament in Cameroon. In their 21 appearances at the continental showcase at home, Tunisia has only won the championship once, in 2024.

However, in a chat with Brila FM, Ugbade warned the Super Eagles not to underestimate any team in the group.
“The draw is not that too difficult for the Super Eagles. But if you consider some of the situations in Africa, then you will understand that the game has improved a lot.
“Nigeria should be able to perform very well, but I am not going to rule out even the smallest team, Tanzania, being able to pull off some surprises as well.
The Super Eagles should be able to qualify, but they will have to work to merit that.”
