Tonight, Algeria will face Nigeria in a blockbuster quarterfinal clash at the Africa Cup of Nations 2025, currently being held in Morocco.
The match will take place at Marrakech Stadium.
Algeria will return to Marrakech after a four-year absence to contest a decisive encounter against Nigeria, a match that carries both historical and psychological significance for the Desert Warriors.
Algeria previously suffered a heavy 4-0 defeat to Morocco at the same stadium during the 2012 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers.
Their last appearance at the venue came on September 7, 2021, when they drew 1-1 with Burkina Faso in the 2022 World Cup qualifiers.
Nigeria, meanwhile, will arrive with strong momentum after storming into the quarterfinals with an emphatic 4-0 win over Mozambique.
With this qualification, Nigeria have reached the quarterfinals for the second consecutive time since 2010 and are aiming to reach the semifinals for the 16th time in their history, a record that reflects their remarkable consistency on the continental stage.
