Ghana defeated Nigeria in the qualifiers to advance to the 2023 CHAN tournament, and Coach Dramani’s side will be looking to build on this and ensure qualification to the 2025 CHAN tournament, which will be staged in Tanzania, Kenya, and Uganda.

Nigeria, this time around, is under the tutelage of former international Augustine Eguavoen, who led the team to the Morocco 2025 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) qualification.

The team has qualified for CHAN on three occasions, with a bronze medal in their maiden appearance under the late Stephen Keshi.

They last reached the final during their last appearance.

The team has not qualified for the last two editions of the tournament.
