The Nigerian national team has kept up their preparations for the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations Round of 16 encounter with Mozambique through an additional closed-door practice session.

Head coach Éric Chelle has chosen to keep the team’s training sessions confidential as the crucial elimination match approaches. Reporters were prohibited from observing the team’s practice on Thursday and Friday, and the same restriction was maintained on Saturday.

Individuals connected to the team mention that the closed sessions are designed to help players maintain concentration and work in a calm environment free from interruptions. It also allows the coaches an opportunity to refine strategies, enhance the team’s structure, and rehearse set plays without exposing their plans to the rival side.

Nevertheless, the press will be permitted to observe the initial 15 minutes of the Super Eagles’ practice on Sunday, in accordance with AFCON media regulations.

Nigeria will face Mozambique in the Round of 16 on Monday. The team that wins the game will advance to the quarter-finals, while the losing side will be eliminated from the competition.

The game is scheduled to take place at the Complexe Sportif de Fès in Morocco and will start at 8:00 p.m. local time in Nigeria. Supporters from Nigeria are expecting the Super Eagles to deliver a solid performance and advance to the next stage.
