Super Eagles B beat Ghana to end six-year CHAN absence
Nigeria’s home-based Super Eagles secured their spot in the 2025 African Nations Championship (CHAN) with an impressive 3-1 win over Ghana’s Black Galaxies at the Godswill Akpabio Stadium, Uyo, on Saturday.
After a goalless first leg in Accra, the Eagles B took control of the return match, scoring three goals in the first half.
Sodiq Ismail and Nduka Junior from Remo Stars put Nigeria ahead within the first 22 minutes, and Rangers’ star, Saviour Isaac added a third goal in the 25th minute.
Ghana’s Stephen Amankuna scored in the 73rd minute, but it was only a consolation as Nigeria held on to secure their place in the tournament.
This victory was particularly sweet for the Super Eagles B, as it came against a Ghana side that had previously denied them CHAN qualification in 2008 and 2022.
Nigeria will now compete in the 2025 CHAN, co-hosted by Uganda, Kenya, and Tanzania from February 1 to 25. They will aim to better their previous best performance, which saw them finish as runners-up in 2018.
