Nigeria Qualifies for AFCON 2025 in Morocco With Draw Against Benin Republic

Nigeria has qualified for the 2025 AFCON, slated to take place in Morocco, with two games to spare, thanks to Libya’s 1-0 victory over Rwanda in Kigali on the same day.

The Super Eagles were scheduled to face the Cheetahs of Benin Republic at the Stade Felix Houphouet-Boigny in Abidjan, Ivory Coast, needing at least a point to secure their spot in Morocco.

However, Libya’s victory ensured Nigeria’s qualification before kick-off, sparing them the pressure of needing a result. Libya had put the Nigerian team through an unforgettable ordeal in October.

Nigeria, three-time African champions, have now qualified for their 21st appearance at the tournament, which will take place from December 21, 2025, to January 18, 2026.

Also, they now have 11 points, four more than Benin and six more than Rwanda, who they will face in their last fixture, next week.

Eagles Ready to Feed on Benin Cheetahs Today in Abidjan

As the Super Eagles prepare to take on Benin Republic and Rwanda in the final phase of the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations qualification series, interim coach AUSTIN EGUAVOEN will be relying on the searing hot form of his front-men VICTOR OSIMHEN, VICTOR BONIFACE, and ADEMOLA LOOKMAN, who have been consistently banging the goals for their European clubs since the start of the 2024/25 season.

The strikers have been in the best form of their lives and will be expected to prove their mettle against the Cheetahs at Stade Félix Houphouët-Boigny in Abidjan tomorrow, and the Amavubi at Godswill Akpabio International Stadium in Uyo on Monday.

The three players already have 34 goal contributions combined, with more than half of the season still to play, coincidentally on eight goals apiece.

LOOKMAN is enjoying his best moment in front of goal and is in the running to dethrone compatriot OSIMHEN as CAF Best Player of the Year.

Despite missing the first few games of the season due to future uncertainties at Napoli, OSIMHEN has entrenched his name as one of the best strikers in modern-day football. Since joining Galatasaray on a season-long loan on the last day of the transfer window, the former Lille striker has settled in nicely, with his goals and general team play making him the fans’ favourite.

Completing the fearsome trio is Boniface, who is already Bayer Leverkusen’s top scorer for the season with eight goals.

European Union Ends Fishing Agreement With Senegal Over Breaches

The European Union – EU has announced it will not renew its fishing agreement with Senegal, citing concerns over the country’s efforts to curb illegal fishing.

The EU delegation in Senegal confirmed the decision, highlighting concerns over monitoring and control of both Senegalese and foreign vessels, especially those operating from Dakar’s port.

Senegal had been flagged by the EU earlier this year as a “non-cooperating country” in the fight against illegal fishing, with European officials pointing to inadequate monitoring and surveillance systems.

Without a renewed agreement, European vessels will be required to exit Senegalese waters when the deal expires on Sunday, halting financial contributions to Senegal under this pact.

President BASSIROU DIOMAYE FAYE, elected in March, had pledged to review the agreement as part of his campaign, commissioning an audit of the fishing sector in May. However, the results of that review have yet to be made public.

The Senegalese government has yet to issue an official response to the EU’s decision.

World Trade Organization to Convene Special Meeting to Formalize Okonjo-Iweala’s 2nd Tenure

The World Trade Organization has said it would convene a special meeting of its General Council to advance the process for selecting the next Director-General.

A statement issued by Chairman of the General Council, Ambassador PETTER ØLBERG of Norway, said the meeting will be held on November 28 and  29, 2024.

The meeting follows the announcement by the Chairman on November 9, that no candidates for the position of Director-General had emerged by the 8th of November nomination deadline, other than the incumbent Director-General, NGOZI OKONJO-IWEALA.

The first day of the General Council meeting would allow members to hear a presentation from NGOZI OKONJO-IWEALA on her vision for the World Trade Organization, followed by a question-and-answer session.

The second day could then provide an opportunity for members to decide on the appointment of the next Director-General.
