Nigeria's home-based Super Eagles will kick off their 2024 African Nations Championship (CHAN) campaign with a challenging fixture against defending champions Senegal. The Group D encounter is scheduled to take place at the Amman Stadium in Zanzibar on Tuesday, August 7, 2024.
This tournament marks a significant return for Nigeria after missing the last two editions of the competition. Football enthusiasts across the country are eagerly anticipating how Coach Eric Chelle's squad will fare against the continent's best home-based talents.
Nigeria's Group D Schedule
Following their opener against Senegal, the Super Eagles will face Sudan at the same venue on Tuesday, August 12. They will conclude their group stage matches against Congo at the Benjamin Mkapa Stadium in Dar es Salaam on Tuesday, August 19.
The tournament, which features players who compete in their domestic leagues, will be jointly hosted by three East African nations – Kenya, Tanzania, and Uganda. The competition is scheduled to run from Saturday, August 2 to Saturday, August 30, 2024.
Preparation Underway
Reports indicate that Coach Eric Chelle has been actively scouting for talents to represent Nigeria at the championship. He was recently spotted in Lagos during the Federation Cup, assessing potential players who could make the final squad for the tournament.
The Confederation of African Football (CAF) has already designated the venues for all Group D matches, with Nigeria playing their first two games in Zanzibar before moving to Dar es Salaam for their final group fixture.
This tournament presents an excellent opportunity for home-based Nigerian players to showcase their talents on the continental stage and potentially attract interest from clubs abroad.
