Nigeria, Ghana renew rivalry in CHAN Qualifier

The longstanding football rivalry between West African neighbours Nigeria and Ghana will be rekindled on Saturday at the Godswill Akpabio Stadium in Uyo, as the two teams clash in the second leg of their 2025 African Nations Championship (CHAN) qualifying tie.

The first leg, played in Accra last weekend, ended in a goalless draw, setting the stage for a thrilling winner-takes-all encounter in Nigeria.

Both coaches, Daniel Ogunmodede of Nigeria and Mas-Ud Didi Dramani of Ghana, have expressed confidence in their teams’ abilities to secure a spot in the 2025 CHAN Tournament.
