Super Eagles B Beat Ghana 3-1 To End Six-year CHAN Wait
Nigeria’s home-based Super Eagles have secured their place in the 2025 African Nations Championship after a commanding 3-1 victory over Ghana’s Black Galaxies at the Godswill Akpabio Stadium in Uyo on Saturday.
Remo Stars duo Sodiq Ismail and Nduka Junior put Nigeria ahead within the opening 22 minutes before Rangers’ Kazeem Ogunleye extended the lead in the 25th minute.
Ghana pulled one back through Stephen Amankuna in the 73rd minute, but it proved merely a consolation as Nigeria held firm to qualify for their first CHAN tournament since 2018.
The victory was particularly significant as it came against Ghana, who had previously eliminated Nigeria from CHAN qualification in 2008 and 2022.
The Eagles B will now compete in the tournament co-hosted by Uganda, Kenya and Tanzania from February 1-25, 2025, where they will aim to improve on their previous best finish as runners-up in 2018.
