Nigeria’s Super Eagles B have been drawn in Group D alongside Senegal, Congo, and Sudan for the 2025 African Nations Championship scheduled to be held in Kenya, Tanzania, and Uganda this August.
The draw, conducted in Nairobi on Wednesday, revealed tough competition for Nigeria as they seek to clinch the title for the first time in the tournament’s history.
