Time and where to watch Nigeria vs Ghana CHAN qualifier

Nigeria's home-based national team has landed in Ghana ahead of the African Nations Championship (CHAN) against Ghana.

For a place at the 7th edition of the CHAN, the home-based Super Eagles take on the Black Galaxies of Ghana in a two-leg affair.

The team departed Nigeria to arrive in Cape Coast on Friday, for the first leg in Ghana.

Super Eagles home-based coach Salisu Yusuf invited 35 players to camp but only took 22 for the qualifier against Ghana.
