Ghana’s Black Galaxies head coach, Mas-Ud Didi Dramani, has announced a 32-man provisional squad for the highly anticipated 2025 African Nations Championship (CHAN) qualifiers against arch-rivals Nigeria. The squad will convene at the Ghanaman Soccer Centre of Excellence in Prampram for an intensive three-phase camping program ahead of the clash.
Ghana is set to host the first leg of the qualifier on Saturday, December 21, 2024, while Nigeria will host the return leg between December 27-29, 2024. The aggregate winner will secure a spot in the CHAN 2025 tournament, co-hosted by Kenya, Uganda, and Tanzania.
This fixture reignites a fierce rivalry, as the Black Galaxies famously denied Nigeria a ticket to the 2023 CHAN edition. With both nations seeking redemption and dominance, the stakes are higher than ever.
The Black Galaxies’ preparations underline their determination to maintain superiority, having already established themselves as a formidable force in West African football. Meanwhile, Nigeria will look to leverage home support in the second leg to reverse their fortunes.
Key Dates:
First Leg: December 21, 2024, in Ghana
Second Leg: December 27-29, 2024, in Nigeria
The battle for CHAN 2025 qualification promises to be a thrilling encounter, with national pride and a place in the continental tournament on the line.
