Today marks the start of Group D action at the TotalEnergies CAF African Nations Championship (CHAN) 2024 in Zanzibar. Both matches are set to be played at the Amaan Stadium, kicking off what is expected to be a highly competitive group.
Congo vs. Sudan | 3:00 PM EAT
The opening match of the day sees Congo face off against Sudan. This is a crucial fixture for both sides as they aim to get their campaigns off to a positive start.
Making their fifth CHAN appearance, Congo will be looking to improve on their past performances. The team has reached the quarterfinals twice but was eliminated in the group stages in their last two appearances. A victory against Sudan would be a significant step toward advancing from the group.
Sudan, who are also regular participants, will be eager to prove themselves. The team has shown flashes of brilliance in previous tournaments, and a strong showing against Congo is essential to build momentum for the rest of their group stage matches.
Senegal vs. Nigeria | 6:00 PM EAT
The day’s main event is a highly anticipated clash between two West African football powerhouses: Senegal and Nigeria.
As the reigning champions, Senegal enters the tournament with a strong reputation. They are the team to beat, and their opening match against Nigeria is a statement opportunity. The Teranga Lions will rely on their tactical discipline and solid defensive record to start their title defense on a high note.
Nigeria is making a long-awaited return to the tournament after missing the last two editions. Known for their attacking flair, the Super Eagles will be a formidable opponent for the defending champions. This match presents an opportunity for Nigeria to make a strong statement and show they are serious contenders for the title.
