The home-based Ghana national team, the Black Galaxies, have landed in Uyo, Nigeria, ahead of their high-stakes Africa Nations Championship (CHAN) qualifier against the Super Eagles B. The team arrived at the Victor Attah International Airport on Friday morning, signaling their readiness for Saturday’s clash at the Godswill Akpabio International Stadium.

Scheduled for December 28, 2024, at 4 p.m. local time (16:00 GMT), the match has football fans across West Africa buzzing. The first leg in Accra ended in a goalless draw, leaving both sides with everything to fight for in this return leg.

Ghana’s head coach, Mas Ud Didi Dramani, exudes confidence in his team’s ability to deliver, emphasizing their history of success in CHAN qualifiers against Nigeria. The Black Galaxies have previously edged out the Super Eagles B in 2009 and 2023, and a win on Saturday would mark their third triumph in this fierce rivalry.

The stakes could not be higher, as the winner of this tie will secure a spot in the 2024 CHAN tournament, co-hosted by Kenya, Tanzania, and Uganda in February 2025.

With a historic rivalry and a spot in a continental tournament on the line, all eyes will be on Uyo as the Black Galaxies and the Super Eagles B reignite their storied football feud.
