Super Eagles forward Victor Osimhen will lead Nigeria as captain in their AFCON 2025 semi-final clash against host nation Morocco.
Head coach Eric Chelle confirmed Osimhen as skipper while announcing his starting XI for the decisive encounter.
The Galatasaray striker takes over the armband due to the absence of regular captain Wilfred Ndidi, who is unavailable for the match.
As Nigeria’s key man and one of the tournament’s leading scorers, Osimhen is expected to inspire the Super Eagles with his leadership, experience, and intensity against a confident Moroccan side buoyed by home support.
