Algeria has made a strong boast of sending the Super Eagles of Nigeria to Sambisa Forest after their semi-final clash at the 2025 African Cup of Nations.
Speaking in a now viral video on Thursday, the Algerian side promised to earn a convincing victory against the Super Eagles.
Speaking to the cheering of the Algerian squad, Hicham Boudaoui, who plays for OGC Nice in the French Ligue 1, said, “Nigeria, hope you’re ready tomorrow because we have no option to send you back to Sambisa Forest.
Nigeria advanced to the quarterfinals with a 4-0 win against Mozambique, while Algeria defeated DR Congo 1-0 in extra time.
Saturday’s encounter is a rematch of the 2019 AFCON semi-final, which Algeria won 2-1 thanks to a spectacular late free kick by Riyad Mahrez.
The must-win encounter is set to kick off by 5 p.m. Nigerian time.
