As CHAN 2024 continues at the Aman Stadium, Nigeria faces a do-or-die clash against Sudan. After losing their opening match, the Super Eagles have no room for error if they want to keep their quarter-final hopes alive.

This encounter promises to be intense, as Sudan, who drew 1-1 with Congo, are also looking to make a statement in this highly competitive group. Their manager, Kwesi Appiah, remains confident despite the challenge ahead:

The preparation went very well. Our first match didn’t go as planned, but now we have the chance to set things right.

On the Nigerian side, the pressure is immense. The team must show more attacking efficiency and avoid the defensive mistakes that marred their tournament opener.

This match already feels like a final: one misstep, and hopes of qualification could vanish.
