Kick-off: January 5, 2026, at 21:00.

In the Round of 16 of the Africa Cup of Nations, a match between Nigeria and Mozambique will take place at the Fez Stadium in Morocco. The opponents have met six times on the football field. In five of those matches, the Nigerian side celebrated victory, while one encounter ended in a scoreless draw.

The upcoming game in the opening round of the playoffs will be a major event for both teams, where the cost of any mistake is extremely high. Nigeria views the current tournament as its main opportunity to redeem itself in front of the fans after failing to qualify for the World Cup. In the group stage, it performed with maximum confidence, recording three victories against Tanzania, Tunisia, and Uganda. The Nigerian team demonstrated its attacking potential by scoring eight goals. However, certain issues emerged in the defensive line, as it conceded four goals and failed to keep a clean sheet in any of the matches.

Mozambique has already achieved a historic success by reaching this stage for the first time ever. Under the guidance of Chiquinho Conde, it managed to defeat Gabon in the group stage, and that result proved sufficient to advance to the Round of 16. Finishing third in the group represents a significant achievement for the national team, which will now try to extend its stay in the tournament. Nevertheless, a clash with one of the most powerful attacking units of the championship will be an extremely serious test for the players, requiring maximum concentration and discipline in defense.
