Nigeria’s Super Eagles have been drawn into a challenging Group D for CHAN 2024, alongside champions Senegal, Congo, and Sudan. The tournament, postponed to August 2024, promises intense competition as teams battle for glory in the African Nations Championship, exclusively featuring home-based players.
The Super Eagles of Nigeria face a challenging road in their quest for a first African Nations Championship (CHAN) title after being placed in Group D alongside defending champions Senegal, Sudan, and Congo. The tournament, featuring home-based players, will be held in August 2024, following a postponement due to incomplete facilities.
The final draw for the 8th edition of CHAN took place at the Kenyatta International Convention Centre in Nairobi, Kenya. The Confederation of African Football (CAF) Director of Competitions, Samson Adamu, supervised the draw alongside East African football legends, including McDonald Mariga of Kenya and Tanzania’s Mrisho Ngasa.
Nigeria, CHAN 2018 silver medalists, faces stiff competition in what many describe as the "Group of Death." Senegal enters as defending champions, while Congo and Sudan bring experience and resilience to the group. The Super Eagles must navigate these tough opponents to advance.
Fans and pundits are optimistic yet cautious about Nigeria’s chances. While some predict success, others warn against complacency. As preparations begin, the Super Eagles must rise to the challenge to bring home their first CHAN title.
