The Home-Based Super Eagles will face Congo in their final group game of the African Nations Championship (CHAN) on “Tuesday, August 19, 2025”. The match will kick off at “6:00 PM Nigerian time” and will be broadcast live on “SuperSport (DStv), beIN Sport, and SABC Sport”.
Nigeria, bottom of the group after defeats to Senegal and Sudan, enter this clash with no chance of qualification but will be looking to restore pride and end their campaign on a positive note.
Congo Eye Qualification
Unlike Nigeria, Congo still has everything to play for. With two points from their opening two matches, 1-1 draws against both Senegal and Sudan, the Red Devils remain in contention for a place in the knockout stage.
A victory over Nigeria would give them a strong chance of progressing, depending on results elsewhere in the group.
CHAN Struggles for the Super Eagles B
This CHAN edition has been disappointing for Nigeria, who field only players from the Nigeria Professional Football League (NPFL). After a goalless draw in a pre-tournament friendly against Zanzibar and mixed results in preparations, expectations were high.
However, the Super Eagles B lost their opener to Senegal before suffering a heavy 4-0 defeat to Sudan, effectively ending their hopes of advancing.
Despite the struggles, the fixture against Congo offers an opportunity for the players to showcase resilience and restore confidence in home-based Nigerian football. Fans will be hoping for a spirited performance that reflects the nation’s rich footballing pedigree.
