The Super Eagles B put on a dominant performance in the second-leg match held in Uyo on Saturday, December 28, 2024.

A clinical first-half display saw them net three goals in just 27 minutes, sealing their qualification.

Nigeria broke through Ghana’s defence in the 17th minute to open the scoring and quickly doubled their lead in the 20th minute with a well-executed corner kick.

They further extended their advantage in the 25th minute, capitalizing on a defensive lapse.

Ghana fought back in the second half, with Stephen Amankona pulling one back, but it was too little, too late.

With a 3-1 aggregate victory, Nigeria has qualified for the CHAN tournament for the first time in six years, marking a significant achievement for the team.

The CAF African Nations Championship (CHAN) is a prestigious football tournament organized by the Confederation of African Football (CAF) for national teams.

Unlike other major tournaments like the Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON), CHAN is exclusively for players who play in their home country’s domestic leagues, meaning no overseas-based players are allowed to participate.

Launched in 2009, the tournament is held every four years and serves as a platform to showcase the continent’s homegrown football talent.

It also offers teams the opportunity to develop their domestic players and compete for continental glory. The CHAN tournament features African nations competing in a format similar to AFCON, but it specifically highlights the strength of local football in Africa.
