As the Super Eagles gear up to face Libya at the Godswill Akpabio Stadium on October 11 for the 2025 AFCON qualifiers, three standout players could play pivotal roles in securing victory:

Wilfred Ndidi: The Leicester City midfielder, now operating in a more attacking role under coach Enzo Maresca, provides balance between defense and attack. His ability to control the game from midfield will be crucial in breaking down the Libyan resistance.

William Troost-Ekong: The Super Eagles captain, with his commanding presence and aerial prowess, is key in both defense and attack. His leadership and defensive skills will anchor Nigeria’s backline.

Ademola Lookman: The Atalanta winger, fresh off a stellar UEFA Europa League-winning campaign, brings precision, technical brilliance, and finishing power. His offensive contributions will pose a significant threat to Libya’s defense.
