African Football Discussion Thread Current Topic: 👉 AFCON 2025/2026

[Futurexxx]

Can't imagine such at this stage of human history? Some 30 years ago is quite different from now, back then the level of awareness and orientation to life hasn't been as these. Indeed football match is supposed to be fun even as their is winning attached to it but it's not a war. People and their beliefs, should they win the native doctor receives the glory and if failure then it's whose fault. The best team had always been the winners.

It's not about awareness or civilization bro, football is a game that most people invest their emotions in, and their are so many people that gambles heavily on football games, so you can't just come with a prediction with enough assurance that this will be the final outcome of a game or tournament, and you don't expect people to gamble so much on that, while believing your predictions, especially as a spiritualist?

I support the move that he should be persecuted because if you don't use him as an example, the rest of them will not learn.
Some people treat gambling as a business, so if you are not certain of what you are saying, it would be better you just shut the f*ck up, because it wouldn't be funny if they loses serious money because of your unreasonable prediction.

Why must it be Rabat all the time? Right from the beginning of this tournament Morocco has been on one stadium till date, haven't seen a host nation playing only on one stadium, like what's so special about this particular stadium? The Super Eagles and every other countries do play in different stadium but Morocco I haven't seen them make a change to a different stadium and today they're on the same place where they started. Isn't it concerning? What's so special about Morocco playing all their game in Rabat?

Senegal vs Egypt in the semi final today, nothing will stop this match not to be a tough match because the two teams are strong teams and they have done well to reach this stage, there will be goal goal in this match and it will end up in penalty shootout, but Senegal will be the team to win the match to qualify for final, I know Egypt have talented squads in this African cup of nations but the opportunity to win this match easily the way they won other matches, such opportunity will not be giving to them to defeat Senegal, and only one thing that will make Senegal to loose this match is when red card happen to Senegal player, that is the only way Egypt can be able to defeat Senegal in this match.

Egypt is also a strong team so with a red card from Senegal is not the only reason Egypt will win --- indeed in terms of odds it is far different where Senegal is a more appropriate favorite @2.02 - @4.40 I am sure Salah and other friends will try to win in this semifinal.
Because this will be a fierce match, it is very likely that many goals will occur or minimal goals --- with BTTS betting yes @2.12 it is too good but like with full risk.

Egypt has only played in one city and they have actually shown their appreciation towards that, I don't think there is any problem nor is the Moroccan team complaining about it.
The fans comes out in there numbers and they have always been entertained by their national team so where they play is not a problem, I don't know for sure but that should be amongst their biggest stadium if it is not the biggest.

The officials for the Nigeria Vs Morocco match has been unveiled by CAF. The centre referee is going to be Daniel Nii Ayi from Ghana and the VAR referee will be Tom Abongile from South Africa. Given the history of these 3 nations on social media, Nigerians are not comfortable with this, it could have been from other nation but not these two. I have seen were doubts are been expressed online. We all know that Ghana and Nigeria use to banter each other same thing with Nigeria and South Africa. These 3 nations when it comes to football they are always at logger heads and the Nigerian fans has expressed their displeasure in the selection of these officials saying that they might want to favour the Morocco against Nigeria because of their online banter.

There are going to be so many agenda that will be carried in this game, because Nigerian is going to end up loosing this game tomorrow against Morocco and Morocco is going to come out victorious in this game, and now Agenda are already being carried all about the match official coming from Ghana and the VAR officials coming from South Africa, this details doesn’t really matter, and if Nigeria plays a good game they will win, because I still don’t understand how a referee will have to be in charge of the team scoring goals, if they score a clear goal the referee is going to award it, I don’t still understand why all this agendas are being discussed here, it’s absolutely ridiculous and unnecessary.

Nigeria should be more favored considering that the referee is even from West Africa, Morocco should be the once concerned considering they’re North America, but knowing how Nigerians are with excuses why things doesn’t work out for them, then that have found a way of making sentimental excuses before the ball is even kicked.

The Nigeria Vs Morocco games will not look easy the Super Eagles should face this game with alot of caution, Morocco is a tough side more stronger than Algeria so nothing should be taken for granted today. If Nigeria wins the Moroccan today it will be their second back to back AFCON final, Nigeria should only play a good game the reff can't disallowed a goal scored with out any good reason or try to give the Super Eagles a red for no reason just for them to loss against Morocco so they need to be careful with much caution when taking on the Moroccan team today, i wish the Super Eagles best of luck.

Although Nigeria vs Morocco are in the semi-final of the African Cup of Nations but to me it seems final to me because the both teams has similar playing partner and which will make the match look so tough and looking at the Nigerian midfield Nididi will not be playing in today match against Morocco because of the two yellow cards he got in their last match but that will not shake the Nigerian players much because Nigeria players came prepared with extra players that cover the gap if any need arises, and i believe that the winning spirit is still with the super Eagle to play Morocco to the best they can, and to dominate in today match and be victorious, all the best to super Eagle as they will do all they know best when it comes to football.

Good Morning !

Today the finalists of the Africa Cup will be decided. All four teams are more or less equal in terms of strength, but Morocco are playing at home, which gives them a bit of an advantage. Nigeria failed to qualify for the World Cup, so this Africa Cup is a great chance for them to redeem themselves in front of their own fans. In the Egypt–Senegal match, we’re unlikely to see many goals, and the winner might be decided by a penalty shootout.

Tonight I’m also expecting their match to be very tough both of them will like to win the match and according to people that Morocco is one of the biggest in Africa, thought they were stronger than the Algeria Super eagles beat earlier. But with all that Super Eagles are also in their best form currently now, which they will make sure they play the match extra carefully with much caution in order for them to get victory over Morocco.

I thought I was the only one that noticed it. It's a surprise to see them keep playing at the same stadium or do they think people won't notice it? Even if it doesn't mean anything but people won't agree to that, some people might believe they are winning because of that stadium. They shouldn't have played all games there, if they make it to the final it will definitely raise questions and many people will criticize them for that.
It's really concerning and I won't blame people when they question them about the use of one stadium like what's special about it to be using it everytime. If that's the only stadium everyone is using then I won't complain but why always them and the stadium.

About the match, I hope Nigeria can win this. Ndidi will miss out but I hope they can still play well without him and give their best. Morocco is not an easy team so it will be difficult they just need to be at their best.

Africa and the easiest way to gain victory, this is no way to progress into the finals of the AFCON and to win the trophy. If Africans continue to use this same method I don't think the outside World would see us as a continent that can get the job done without Voodoo and this was the same thing the Super Eagles head coach was talking about when we played Dr, Congo, this is a disgrace to Africa football.

I have just come here to share some typical stuff which happened in my local community ( Village) during a recently ended football tournament. They did all of the necessary traditional sacrifice but did get to progress to the finals and semi finals. All these can be done but the real deal happens when you fight and play as a team on the pitch. Finally, I'm so sorry for Mazaraoui,  all Manchester United players who left for this competition are already back with the club, Mazaraoui leaving today will be epic. It should be an Egypt - Nigerian finals.

Really? I have never taken note of that, I never knew they’ve been using same stadium to play all their matches from the beginning of the tournament. The name Rabat sounds familiar as it looks like one of their best stadium in Morocco is not the best they’ve ever had. Maybe they have only reserved the stadium for themselves to play matches in only and not for all countries to use. There is something about a thing being special, you’ll always want to use it and not allow anyone to also have a taste of it. This should have look surprising, but there is no cause for alarm since they are the host nation, and I think can chose whichever stadium they wish to play from.

Africa doesn't have the same culture as the other continents. Our culture has connections with traditional religion which includes some spritualism. The problem is that fake traditional practitionals have become popular. They are scammers who hide behind traditional practices to decieve people. The Mali native doctor is a wellknown scammer and should be punished by the law.   

Most times, this are the kind of news we get to here in Africa, and sometimes I only wonder how all these things are happening, to me I will say is it necessary, they look most times to be not needed in football. So are we bringing the traditional religion spiritualism into football, is it new or this is something that has been happening for sometimes now. Well to me and the knowledge I have for Africa, these practices are common as to most Africans, it is a custom already, and now we are definitely seeing scamming into it, as you have said it, "scammers bidding behind traditional religion" they are all unnecessary.

Hahahaha this is hilarious, what tha heck in God's name is wrong with this people? Like this has really gotten to this extent okay now they still got eliminated I believe that's a double disappointment lol the voodoo priest should use his power to get himself out of the police cell first before they can talk of how he refund them hahahaha this is really hilarious, but must they make it publicly? Something they did secretly why then expose it to the world now it's not just the priest that is to be blamed but the Mali national team as a whole, anyways that's their cross to carry my concern now is how Nigeria can get past Morocco and win the AFCON.

I get why this feels like a final to some people because even me, I’m a little nervous to say this,  but this match feels like a final to me. Morocco isn’t just some weak team. They are really tough,  organized and disciplined. You aren’t winning a match just because you have some confidence,  I trust the team and I know we have the quality, but there is no arguing that this will be extremely tough,  It will be a battle,  not a walk in the park. Of course I want Nigeria to win, but this match could go a lot of different ways,  and that’s the scariest part. It will be a close match and I want the Super Eagles to pass  this match and go on to focus because it’s  going to be tough.

Seeing this news made me laugh so loud because I really don’t understand why a country will do black magic just to win a trophy and for them to think that it will work is the most funniest thing ever. I have been hearing a lot of this in African football, some countries are accusing other countries of using black magic to win, for me I believe black magic don’t work when it comes to football.
Yes, actually it is a disgrace to Africa football because other foreign countries can be accusing them of using black magic if they win them so it is very wrong and I think the African football Federation should do something about it so they can stop this kind of thing from happening again.

Are you in any way thinking that the stadium they make use of is the reason why they have gone this far in the competition?  you don't need to let that get to your chest cause they are the host if they decide to favour them by allowing them to always make use of their favorite stadium whenever they play it shouldn't be an issue all we wanna see is good football nothing else and if there's any form of bad officiating that's when we should raise an alarm but for the stadium they regularly use it's nothing special.

I don't think it has been done in any of the nations cup I have witnessed for the host to play all their games in one stadium, it hasn't happened before (correct me if I'm wrong). Well that's how they feel they can make Morocco enjoy their run in this AFCON, not that the stadium is the cause of them winning games, and I don't think is a good way of arrangement, they are the host nation but making them feel comfortable is too much only shows that they are ready to do anything to make them win the AFCON. We can't do anything if the officiating is bad, we'll only complain and they'll still go on and play in the finals, CAF have made a mistake by letting this happen, from the start they should have made every country to make use of all the stadium that are listed for the competition and not make Rabat look like the home ground for only Morocco.

I have strong faith in Nigeria super eagles, and I believe they can win this match. They are very inform and they have been playing very well all they need to do right now is to put in their best in this match, the match is a few hours, and I really can’t wait to watch the match it be an interesting match and I’m not afraid and I will not watch the match with fear because I believe Nigeria will win the match, yes, it is true that Morocco fans will be more in the stadium and that alone we help Morocco to put in more pressure and more force and strength to make sure that they win Nigeria, but that will not work. Nigeria has a more better team than Morocco so there’s a big chance that Nigeria will win Morocco very well in the match today.
I have already predicted and bet on Nigeria to win the match and I’m sure they will win the match i believe in my country players.

[Baki202]

But with all that Super Eagles are also in their best form currently now, which they will make sure they play the match extra carefully with much caution in order for them to get victory over Morocco.

And tonight is going to be one of the most interesting games because many people also believe that Morocco can win against the Super Eagles, and the Super Eagles are also well-prepared, and Morocco has been getting a lot of hype this period, and nobody knows what is going to happen, and the issue is that people might be underestimating the Super Eagles because they should not think that it's going to be that easy for Morocco, but till then.

I cannot wait for the commencement of the game because this is going to determine who is going to the finals, and the Nigerian Super Eagles are not going to go down easily because afcon have made things very interesting, and we all are waiting for nigeria to win against them because a lot of things have been going on this period and even algeria thought they could win against nigeria until everything had changed on that day.

Nothing special about it. That is how it worked out for them, just the same way Egypt has only played in one Stadium so far.
You need to give credit to the Moroccans because all the stadium used in this AFCON are top notch, we cant say one is better than the other. Except for the fact that Rabat stadium can contain more people compared to the others. This should be the reason why both Egypt and Morocco has maintain one stadium throughout the competition. Egypt and Morocco has the largest 12th member in the AFCON.

The mentality that will give us the win is not one that sits to give excuses  on which field the opponent have been using or not. When it comes to the game of football, your opponent's voodoo doesn't have a serious effect on the outcome of the game.

What we need is for the eagles to go into the game with the right mentality, give in Thier all and come out victorious.  If it's by superstitious believe then we are more of a religious or even diabolical nation than they are.   The home advantage allows them as the host country to enjoy some of those privileges but with the right mentality, we can still break them down big time.

Nigeria failed to qualify for the World Cup, so this Africa Cup is a great chance for them to redeem themselves in front of their own fans. In the Egypt–Senegal match, we’re unlikely to see many goals, and the winner might be decided by a penalty shootout.

The both matches involves top teams and one of the best teams and set of players you can come across in African football. This is a match one cannot easily predict as even the odds won’t do justice to the best outcome of this games. The Africa Cup of Nation is a very big competition unlike before that no much interest was showed in it. Everyone is looking forward to see the outcome of this two games and it has garnered interest from the whole world. Senegal, Egypt and Nigeria will play in their best forms in this matches and I’m sure they can show us the best of performance and a match as entertaining as ever as we move into the finals of the competition.

The super eagles will indeed show their strength and try to win this trophy to relieve themselves of not qualifying to the World Cup. The win here may not totally suffix for that, but to some extent, it’ll really make them feel happy to have won a trophy. So far, they’ve shown great skill in this competition and one would never have imagined them not the same team that missed out to qualify for the World Cup.
