AFCON 2025 Qualifiers: Benin vs Nigeria – match date, time, streaming details

Benin Republic is gearing up to host Nigeria in a highly anticipated clash in the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) qualifiers.

This match is expected to be intense, with both teams having a fierce history of competitive encounters.

In June, Benin triumphed 2-1 over Nigeria in the first leg of their 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifier on home soil.

However, Nigeria responded with a dominant 3-0 victory in September during their AFCON qualifier at the Godswill Akpabio International Stadium in Uyo.

Benin’s head coach, Gernot Rohr, faces significant pressure to secure a win, as a loss could put the country’s chances of advancing to the AFCON tournament in jeopardy.

To strengthen the squad, Rohr has recalled five players: David Kiki, Tosin Aiyegun, Lenny Pirringuel, Ryan Adigo, and Serge Obassa, though the team will miss the services of injured defender Cedric Hountondji.

On the Nigerian side, head coach Augustine Eguavoen has assembled a strong squad, including star striker Victor Osimhen, who missed the previous match against Libya, and Ballon d’Or nominee Ademola Lookman, who adds depth to Nigeria’s attacking options.

The team is focused on maintaining their momentum as they aim to claim their fourth AFCON title.

Benin vs Nigeria: date and time 

The match will take place at the Stade de Houphouet Boigny in Abidjan on Thursday, November 14, with a kick-off time of 8:00 p.m. Nigerian time.
