The 2025 AFCON will be held in Morocco in December 2025.
Nigeria has faced Libya four times in the past, winning all encounters.
Their most recent meeting was during the 2018 AFCON qualifiers, where Nigeria won 3-2, with Odion Jude Ighalo netting a brace.
As the team prepares for the upcoming match, it appears likely that Augustin Eguavoen will continue as the interim manager, with the federation showing no signs of announcing a permanent coach soon.
