Super Eagles head coach Eric Chelle has commented on the possibility of Nigeria’s 2025 Africa Cup of Nations semi-final against Morocco being decided by a penalty shootout.
To date, only the last-16 match between Mali and Tunisia has been settled via penalties in the tournament. Nigeria previously suffered a shootout defeat to the Democratic Republic of Congo during the 2026 World Cup intercontinental playoff in November.

Asked about preparations for a potential penalty scenario against the Atlas Lions, Chelle stated, “I will go to the mosque to pray to win if we get to a penalty shootout.”
If Nigeria advances—whether in regular time or through penalties—they will meet either Senegal or Egypt in Sunday’s final.
