Nigeria and Ghana Set for ‘Jollof Battle’ in Unity Cup 2025
The Super Eagles of Nigeria and the Black Stars of Ghana will renew their historic rivalry in the semi-final of the Unity Cup 2025, scheduled to take place in London on Wednesday, 28 May 2025.
This much-anticipated clash, often called the “Jollof Battle,” promises to be a thrilling encounter between two of Africa’s biggest football nations. The Ghana Football Association and tournament organisers have confirmed the date, setting the stage for another heated contest between the West African giants.
A Fierce Rivalry Continues
The last time these two teams met in London, Ghana secured a dominant 4-1 victory over Nigeria, making this a perfect opportunity for the Super Eagles to seek revenge. However, form and past results often mean little in this fixture, as both teams will be fully motivated to claim bragging rights.
The Unity Cup is not just about football—it is a celebration of African and Caribbean football and culture. Alongside Nigeria and Ghana, Jamaica will also be competing in the tournament, aiming to make a strong impression after suffering a narrow defeat in their last outing.
The winner of the Nigeria vs Ghana semi-final will advance to the Unity Cup final on Saturday, 31 May 2025. The losing team will play in the third-place match to determine the bronze medalist.
With Nigeria’s higher FIFA ranking and recent results, the Super Eagles could be considered early favourites. However, with Ghana’s past success in London, this match remains unpredictable. One thing is certain—football fans are in for an exciting showdown.
