AFCON 2025: Super Eagles’ starting X1 unchanged against Algeria

Eric Chelle, Super Eagles head coach, has named the same starting line-up that defeated Mozambique for the AFCON ’25 quarter-final match against Algeria today.

The showdown in Marakesh will see the trio of Victor Osimhen, Akor Adams, and four-goal Ademola Lookman lead the attack.

Captain Wilfred Ndidi, Alex Iwobi, and Frank Onyeka are in midfield, while Semi Ajayi and Calvin Bassey are in the heart of defence alongside Bruno Onyemaechi and Bright Osayi-Samuel.

It is the third time Chelle will name this starting line-up in Morocco.

Super Eagles Starting XI: Stanley Nwabali, Bright Osayi-Samuel, Calvin Bassey, Semi Ajayi, Bruno Onyeamaechi; Wilfred Ndidi (C), Frank Onyeka, Alex Iwobi; Ademola Lookman, Akor Adams, Victor Osimhen.
