CHAN 2025Q: Ghana Can’t Stop Home Eagles Again – Ogunmodede

Super Eagles assistant coach, Daniel Ogunmodede has declared that the team is battle ready for their 2025 African Nations Championship (CHAN) qualifier against the Black Galaxies of Ghana.

The Black Galaxies stopped Nigeria from qualifying for the last edition of the competition hosted by Algeria.

The two countries are also battling for a place at the next tournament which will be co-hosted by Kenya, Uganda and Tanzania.

“We are not thinking about the past, what is important now is the present and also looking at the future. We all know what is at stake including the players. We are giants of Africa, we know what it means to us to play at the CHAN,” he told the Super Eagles media.

“Ghana will have the confidence they knocked us out twice in the past. I think things will be different this time around.”

Ogunmodede also revealed how the technical crew came up with the list of invited players for the game.

“Everybody deserves a chance here, we are all privileged to be here. In my opinion, every time you have a first X1, there will always be a player complaining, same thing with this scenario,” he added.

“We have to call 30 players among the large numbers in the league, they all deserved to be here.”
