Mauritania Beats Supersand Eagles 6-5, Eliminates Nigeria from Beach Soccer AFCON
The Supersand Eagles of Nigeria have been edged out of the 2024 Beach Soccer African Cup of Nations (AFCON) following a narrow 6-5 defeat to Mauritania in the second leg of their qualifier.
Despite a strong showing in the first leg, where the Supersand Eagles secured a 5-4 victory, the aggregate score ended in a 10-10 tie. As a result, the away goal rule worked against them, and Mauritania advanced to the AFCON.
The Supersand Eagles had been aiming to make a comeback to the AFCON after a five-year hiatus, and their defeat marks a setback for the team.
Historically, Nigeria has claimed the Beach Soccer AFCON title twice, showcasing its strong legacy in the sport.
With this recent result, the Supersand Eagles will now focus on regrouping and refining their strategies in preparation for future competitions, with the goal of a more successful campaign in the next qualifying round.

He praised the manager, saying that Arteta really pushed the club to the best and the win is well deserved.
“Congratulations to Arsenal once again. It is a well-deserved win after 22 years. We can’t wait to see the 30th of May and see if it’s a double win.”
Luis Enrique, manager of Paris Saint-Germain (PSG), praised Arsenal F.C. and called them the best team in the world after their win in the Premier League.
He shared: “I believe they deserve to win the league — they have had an outstanding season.
“We have already faced this Arsenal team, so we are aware of their capabilities.
“Without the ball, they are the best team in the world, and with it, they can score frequently. This creates a remarkable combination for them.”
Nigerian footballer Victor Osimhen spoke about his childhood days and the difficult experiences he faced growing up.
He revealed that his mother was the breadwinner of the family and that her death deeply affected them.
“My mom was the breadwinner of the family, but she and my dad never had issues because of it.”
