“I Am 100% Sure We Will Qualify for CHAN” – Eguavoen
Augustine Eguavoen has expressed strong confidence that Nigeria will secure a spot in the 2024 African Nations Championship (CHAN).
Speaking ahead of the decisive second leg against Ghana, Eguavoen emphasized his belief in the team’s ability to overturn past disappointments and deliver a victory for the nation.
Earlier, Nigeria narrowly missed out on the last CHAN tournament held in Algeria after being eliminated by Ghana in the final qualifying round.
That loss has caused a fierce rivalry between the two teams, which now extends into the battle for a place in CHAN 2024.
The first leg of the current qualifying tie ended in a goalless draw at the Accra Sports Stadium.
Both teams displayed defensive strength but failed to capitalize on their attacking opportunities.
The second leg is scheduled to take place at the Godswill Akpabio International Stadium in Uyo this Saturday, where the Super Eagles hope to seal their qualification in front of home fans.
Eguavoen, a former defender and long-serving member of Nigeria’s football community, remains optimistic.
Speaking to reporters, he said, “I am 100% sure that this time, we will turn things around against Ghana.
Also, I have absolute confidence in the team. The players are ready, and they have assured me they will deliver. Now, we just pray for some luck to go our way.”
Manchester United manager Michael Carrick sends out a message that he needs more players before the summer transfer window ends.
He revealed in a recent interview “We want more, we need more, we keep looking for how we can do that. Money’s money, I understand that. We believe we must strive for success in every competition we participate in, while remaining realistic about our recent history over time.
“For now, we must maximise our current situation, but we need to push every limit possible to achieve victory again, essentially. That is the challenge.”

Real Madrid manager Jose Mourinho speaks on his team and shares some of the mindset of the players and how things have been since he joined the team.
He shared in a recent interview “The first thing he told me was, ‘I’ve come to ask for more vacation time for the national team players.’
“In the second conversation, he requested that I postpone training by an hour due to heavy traffic in Madrid at the time I intended to commence the session.
“In the third, he mentioned that the players preferred not to go to the hotel and instead wanted to meet on matchday and head directly to the stadium. Mentally, they were in a very poor state.”
