The Super Eagles of Nigeria were in the same group with Libya in the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers. They were supposed to play two games, but they played just one.

Nigeria won the first one at home last October, but the second one which was supposed to be played in Libya did not take place due to their severe antics.

So, their nice gesture towards DR Congo could just be a way of spiting the Super Eagles. Moreover, DR Congo and Nigeria are not in the same part of Africa, neither are they close.

It will be interesting to see if they congratulate DR Congo if they qualify for the 2026 World Cup at the playoffs next year.
