The Nigerian team was drawn in Group C during the ceremony that was held in Morocco on Monday.
The mouthwatering encounter in the group will see Nigeria battling against the Carthage Eagles of Tunisia.
Champions on home soil in 2004, Tunisia eliminated Nigeria in the semi-final before defeating Morocco in the final. The Tunisian team also knocked out Nigeria in the Round of 16 of AFCON 2021 in Cameroon.
Nigeria defeated Tunisia 4-2 on its way to the AFCON final against Cameroon in Lagos in 2000.
The tournament is scheduled to run from December 21, 2025 to January 18, 2026.
The tournament will take place in six cities over four weeks, but only one nation can be crowned the king of Africa.
