 AFCON 2025’s biggest winners go a head-to-head in a quarterfinal clash

It’s currently a frustrating time to be a fan of the Super Eagles. The bitter disappointment of Nigeria failing to qualify for the 2026 FIFA World Cup still lingers, and even an impressive run in AFCON 2025 has been overshadowed by off-the-field drama.

Nigeria vs Algeria AFCON 2025 Quarterfinals: Nigeria faces Algeria in the AFCON 2025 quarterfinals on Sunday, live on beIN SPORTS. For a short time, there were concerns the match might not happen. Nigerian players refused to train or travel to Marrakesh until their AFCON 2025 win bonuses were paid by the Nigerian Football Federation.

In theory, four sets of bonuses were due, as Nigeria had cruised through the group stage with four wins from four games, including a 4-0 demolition of Mozambique in the Round of 16.

Algeria also recorded four wins, though only three came in 90 minutes. The Fennec Foxes narrowly avoided a penalty shootout against DR Congo in their Round of 16 clash, thanks to a stunning strike from Adil Boulbina, booking their spot against Nigeria in Marrakesh.

The big question for Sunday is how Algeria’s struggles to create scoring chances against DR Congo will affect their clash with a technically brilliant Nigeria team, potentially unprepared due to off-field issues.
