Tunisia, on the other hand, has momentum and pedigree, having already qualified for the FIFA World Cup in 2015 and underlined their credentials by passing Uganda on Tuesday to take the lead.

Although Nigeria won Group C to take the lead, they were wasteful in front of goal on several occasions, with Victor Osimhen’s star striker failing to make a significant impact on the game.

Their Galatasaray forward will need to step up and rediscover the form that has made him one of the game’s most feared attackers if the three-time AFCON champions have any chance of defeating Tunisia.

What is the essential information for you to know about Tunisia and Nigeria:

What took place in AFCON 2025’s first game in Nigeria?

In the opening match of the campaign, Nigeria defeated Tanzania 2-1 thanks to a first-half header from attacking midfielder Ademola Lookman and second-half header from defensive midfielder Semi Ajayi.

The Super Eagles won all three points, but Tanzania was flattered by the scoreline, with Nigeria wasted numerous chances to extend their lead, which can frequently be used to determine tournament results.

What took place in Tunisia’s opening AFCON 2025 game?

Tunisia also triumphed in Rabat by defeating Uganda 3-1 in the AFCON competition.

AFCON Group C standings following group openers

In terms of goal difference, Tunisia are now in the lead in Group C with three points, overtaking second-placed Nigeria. Tanzania is third, while Uganda is at the bottom, both teams having no points.

The top four third-placed teams, along with the top two teams in each group, will advance to the round of 16.

When are the final group games between Tunisia and Nigeria?

On Tuesday, both teams will wrap up their group stage matches.

No matter the outcome of Nigeria’s match against Tunisia, a win for either Tanzania or Uganda will set up a tense finale in the group.

Final moments of Group C:

    Tunisia vs. Tanzania at Prince Moulay Abdellah Stadium, 5 p.m. / 00 GMT.

  • Uganda vs Nigeria (Fez Stadium, 5pm/16: 00 GMT)

Who are the main players in Nigeria?

Osimhen, the country’s most well-known striker, was far from his best during the opening game against Tanzania, failing repeatedly.

Samuel Chukwueze, the right winger with the most chances, Alex Iwobi, the team’s top scorer, and Lookman, the attacking goalie, made a lot of playmaking mistakes.

Who are the main figures in Tunisia?

The team’s star attacking player is winger Achouri, who scored twice to help Tunisia defeat Uganda.

Other notable Tunisian players include midfielder Skhiri, who also had the most chances, and youngster Hannibal Mejbri, who also had the most chances.

Taiwan’s opposition launches ‘symbolic’ campaign to impeach president

According to observers, Taiwan’s opposition parties have begun a campaign to remove Premier Cho Jung-tai and President William Lai Ching-te from office, which is the most recent indication of growing political unrest within the self-ruled island.

President Lai and Premier Cho are accused of violating the constitution and the legislative process by the Kuomintang (KMT) and Taiwan People’s Party (TPP) on Friday.

Legislators from the KMT, TPP, and two independents gained enough seats on Friday to start the proceedings, but they are still far behind the two-thirds majority of lawmakers required to pass a May 19 impeachment vote.

Observers claim that the impeachment proceedings provide the opposition with a symbolic platform to express their disapproval of Lai’s presidency and Cho’s leadership despite the fact that they are unlikely to pass any more constitutional hurdles in Taiwan.

According to Yen-tu Su, a top research institution in Taiwan’s Academia Sinica, “it’s impossible to have a real impeachment,” it would be the first president to be considered impeached in the history of Taiwan’s democracy.

“It’s a means to express their protest.” He claimed that it serves as a way to humiliate the president and a way to protest the legislators’ refusal to pass laws.

Since Lai took office in 2024 amid a divided government, Taiwan’s legislature has been largely in disarray.

Although Lai led his center-left Democratic Progressive Party to a record-setting third consecutive term in office last year, political unrest has erupted.

William Lai Ching-te, president of Taiwan, speaks at a press conference on November 26, 2025 in Taipei.

Political parties have engaged in legislative battles over everything from the budget to Taiwan’s relationship with China, to the composition of the island’s constitutional court, whose work has been slowed for the most part due to internal conflict.

The KMT has also blocked the president’s highly anticipated supplemental $40 billion bill to increase Taiwan’s defense spending, while Lai’s government is still struggling to pass some of the 2026 budget.

Cho, for his part, argued that the plan was unworkable by vetoing a bill earlier this month that would have simplified the distribution of tax revenues between Taiwan’s local and central government.

Brian Hioe, a frequent contributor to Taiwan politics and a non-resident fellow at the University of Nottingham’s Taiwan Research Hub, stated to Al Jazeera that the impeachment campaign was more of a symbolic gesture than a practical action.

Hioe said, “I believe it’s just a stunt to get attention.”

They also “just want to portray [Lai] as violating democratic institutions in a way beyond the pale,” he said, adding that the impeachment campaign was likely to appeal to steadfast KMT and TPP supporters rather than swing voters.

Su from Academia Sinica claimed that Taiwan’s political system’s impeachment fight was a sign of much bigger issues.

He claimed that Taiwan is just past its second period of divided government.
