Super Eagles head coach Eric Chelle has unveiled his starting XI for Saturday's 2025 Africa Cup of Nations encounter against Tunisia at the Fez Stadium.

The three-time African champions are aiming to secure maximum points, which would confirm their place in the round of 16 of the ongoing tournament in Morocco.

Following the 2–1 victory over Tanzania, Chelle has made two adjustments to his lineup. 

Samuel Chukwueze drops out, with Frank Onyeka introduced into midfield, while Bruno Onyemaechi replaces Zaidu Sanusi at left-back. 

Chippa United captain Stanley Nwabali continues between the posts, making his ninth consecutive Africa Cup of Nations start, as Francis Uzoho settles for a place on the substitutes’ bench.

Bright Osayi-Samuel retains his role at right-back, with Onyemaechi slotting in on the left. Semi Ajayi partners Calvin Bassey in central defence.

In midfield, Alex Iwobi, who impressed against Tanzania, starts once again, alongside captain Wilfred Ndidi and Onyeka.

Up front, former African Footballer of the Year Victor Osimhen leads the attack, supported by Ademola Lookman and Akor Adams.

Samuel Chukwueze, Moses Simon, Paul Onuachu, Zaidu and Francis Uzoho are among the substitutes.
