Head coach of the Super Eagles B team, Daniel Ogunmdede, has backed the home-based Nigerian team to secure qualification for the 2024 CHAN tournament, Soccernet.ng reports.
The local Super Eagles team forced Ghana to a goalless draw in the first leg of the qualifying playoff round for the 2025 African Championships at the Accra Sports Stadium yesterday evening.
Coach Daniel's side will welome the Black Stars of Ghana to the Godswill Akpabio International Stadium in Uyo Stadium, and the Remo Stars gaffer is confident his side has all it takes qualify when they play on Saturday.
“I am satisfied with the draw. Now it is for us to qualify for the CHAN. Qualification will add more value to our league, the players and the indigenous coaches. We had a shaky first half, but we improved after the restart,” the 44-year-old said in his post-match presser.

However, Ghana's coach, Coach Draman, in his post-match presser, revealed his side did well by preventing the Super Eagles from finding the back of the net.
“I think it was a very tight game and we controlled greater part of the game and I will say we were lucky not to have conceded because in such games you can easily concede,” the gaffer said in quotes revealed by OnuaOnline.
The overall winners of the final playoff will advance to the delayed 2024 CHAN to be played in Kenya, Tanzania and Uganda between 1st – 28th February, 2025.
