Super Eagles Carry Strong Historical Edge into AFCON 2025 Round of 16 Clash.

Super Eagles vs Mozambique head-to-head

The Super Eagles of Nigeria are preparing to extend their historical dominance over Mozambique’s Mambas ahead of their Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) 2025 Round of 16 encounter in Fez, Morocco.

Nigeria earned a perfect group stage record — winning all three matches — and now turn their focus to the knockout stage, where they will face Mozambique in a fixture steeped in past success.

Head-to-Head History

The Super Eagles have largely held the upper hand in their meetings with Mozambique:

  • Mozambique 0-1 Nigeria — Friendly match (1999).
  • Mozambique 0-0 Nigeria — 2010 FIFA World Cup Qualifier (first leg).
  • Nigeria 1-0 Mozambique — 2010 WCQ (return leg).
  • Nigeria 3-0 Mozambique — AFCON Group Stage (2010).
  • Mozambique 2-3 Nigeria — Friendly (2023).

Nigeria have won four of five meetings and drawn the other — a record that reflects their superior pedigree in this fixture.

This head-to-head advantage offers confidence for the Super Eagles as they pursue deep AFCON progression, while Mozambique, who qualified as one of the best third-placed sides, will be looking to upset history and claim their first win over Nigeria on the big stage.
