AFCON 2025: 'Morocco look scary' — Iwobi cautious but confident ahead of semi-final showdown

Nigeria's Alex Iwobi has called host nation Morocco 'scary' ahead of the semi-final clash this Wednesday in Rabat.

The Fulham star revealed that the Atlas Lions’ clinical 2-0 dismantling of five-time champions Cameroon left a lasting impression on the Nigerian camp.

Nigeria secured their own spot in the final four following a hard-fought 2-0 victory over Algeria, courtesy of second-half strikes from Victor Osimhen and Akor Adams.

That win was the Super Eagles most complete performance at AFCON 2025, and one that filled Iwobi with even more confidence.

Speaking on his YouTube channel, Alexander Yaa Digg, Iwobi was candid about the threat posed by the tournament hosts.

"Just seeing Morocco beat Cameroon, Morocco looking decent, looking scary, but still hopeful we can meet them next round," Iwobi said.

"We have to believe, so we can achieve. Our team is good."

Eric Chelle's men come into this game with plenty of confidence, being the only team with a 100% record in Morocco, and boasting the most feared attack on the continent.

Iwobi, in particular, has been a shinning light in Morocco, and will be keen to lead the Super Eagles past the host, and into the final.
