AFCON 2025
Nigeria’s home-based Super Eagles, also known as the “CHAN Eagles,” won their second test game as they continue to prepare for the 2025 African Nations Championship next month.
Eric Chelle’s men took the pitch three days after edging the Nigeria Premier Football League champions, Remo Stars, 1-0.
The CHAN Eagles hosted non-league side Ojodu City Football Club at the Remo Stars training complex in Ikenne on Friday morning.
After a goalless affair in the first half, the CHAN Eagles scored twice in the second to record another win in the preparatory games.
Abia Warriors striker, Anthony Ijoma, got his second goal in two games in the 2-0 victory.
While the team held on to the slender lead, Enyimba’s Ani Ozoemena made two big saves to keep it intact.
Ikorodu City’s Shola Adelani had his goal ruled offside before Kwara United’s Afeez Bankole doubled the lead
Enugu Rangers striker. Godwin Obaje provided the assist for Bankole, who sealed the win with three minutes to go in regulation time.
The CHAN Eagles are placed alongside Sudan, Congo, and Senegal in Group D, with the tournament set to start next month in Uganda, Kenya, and Tanzania.
