\"AFCONQ:<\/p>\n

The Super Eagles of Nigeria will return to action on Friday, November 13, when they host Tanzania in a crucial 2027 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) qualifying encounter.<\/p>\n

\n

The Group L matchday-three fixture will take place at the Godswill Akpabio International Stadium in Uyo, Akwa Ibom State, as Nigeria seek to strengthen their chances of qualifying for the continental tournament.<\/p>\n

\n

The encounter is scheduled to kick off at 5:00 pm Nigerian time (WAT).<\/p>\n

\n

Nigeria head into the fixture needing a victory after a mixed start to their qualifying campaign, having recorded one win and one defeat in their opening two matches.<\/p>\n

\n

Where Nigeria stand in Group L<\/h3>\n

The Super Eagles currently occupy second position in Group L with three points from two matches, three points behind leaders Guinea-Bissau, who have won both their opening fixtures.<\/p>\n

\n

Nigeria opened their campaign with a 2-1 victory over Madagascar in Uyo before suffering a 3-0 defeat to Guinea-Bissau away from home.<\/p>\n

\n

Tanzania sit third with one point, level with bottom-placed Madagascar, but ahead on goal difference.<\/p>\n

\n

The stakes are particularly high for Nigeria because Tanzania have already secured automatic qualification for the 2027 tournament as one of the co-hosts alongside Kenya and Uganda.<\/p>\n

\n

Consequently, Nigeria, Guinea-Bissau and Madagascar are competing for the remaining qualification spot available in the group.<\/p>\n

\n

A victory over Tanzania would take Nigeria to six points and strengthen their position in the race for qualification.<\/p>\n

\n

Where to watch Nigeria vs Tanzania<\/h3>\n

Football fans in Nigeria can follow the encounter live on SuperSport.<\/p>\n

\n

When is the return fixture?<\/h3>\n

Nigeria will travel to Tanzania for the return fixture on Tuesday, November 17, as both countries meet again in quick succession.<\/p>\n

\n

The two encounters could prove important for Nigeria\u2019s qualification ambitions, with the Super Eagles needing to collect maximum points to avoid falling further behind Guinea-Bissau.<\/p>\n

\n

The 2027 Africa Cup of Nations will be staged across Kenya, Tanzania and Uganda from June 19 to July 17, 2027.<\/p>\n
