Super Eagles head coach Augustine Eguavoen has announced his starting XI for Nigeria’s crucial Africa Cup of Nations 2025 qualifier against Libya, with Victor Boniface and Ademola Lookman leading the attack in a 4-3-3 formation, Soccernet.ng reports.
As Nigeria prepares for the double-header against Libya’s Mediterranean Knights, Eguavoen has opted for a bold attacking line-up, entrusting Boniface and Lookman to spearhead the offensive alongside Moses Simon.
Bayer Leverkusen star Boniface, who has been in exceptional form, will look to carry his club momentum onto the international stage.
The Super Eagles will rely on a solid defensive setup, with William Troost-Ekong, Bruno Onyemaechi and Ola Aina forming a back four. Stanley Nwabali is set to start in goal, providing much-needed assurance between the posts.
In midfield, Wilfred Ndidi partners with Frank Onyeka and Alex Iwobi at the center of the park.
Starting XI (4-3-3 formation):
This crucial encounter takes place at the Godswill Akpabio Stadium in Uyo, as Nigeria looks to secure vital points in their bid to qualify for AFCON 2025. Missing the presence of Victor Osimhen due to injury, the Super Eagles will count on Boniface’s energy and Lookman’s creativity to break down the Libyan defence.
With a strong lineup and the stakes high, Eguavoen’s men are expected to make a statement as they push for qualification in Group D.
