The Super Eagles' quest for a fourth continental title at the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations in Morocco ended in disappointment after a 4-2 penalty shootout defeat to the hosts Morocco. The match went the full 90 minutes without a goal, and Nigeria was eliminated by penalties. This marks a contrasting end to their previous three titles, with their last AFCON win coming in 2013. The team will now have to regroup and focus on future international competitions.
