Black Galaxies head coach, Didi Dramani, remains confident that his team can secure a win against their long-time rivals, Nigeria, to claim a spot in the 2024 African Nations Championship (CHAN).

After a goalless draw in the first leg held in Accra last weekend, both teams are set to face off in the decisive return leg at the Godswill Akpabio International Stadium in Uyo today.

Speaking during a press conference in Uyo, Dramani showed that he believed in his team’s ability to finish the job.

“We had more chances in Accra but were just unlucky not to score. It’s in the past now,” Dramani stated.

“Today is another opportunity to get the goals and seal our qualification for CHAN.”

“Nigeria has a strong side, and it’s never easy when we meet.

But we are ready to step up our game,” he added.

“We’ll play with an attacking mindset and aim to return to Ghana with a win.”

Alvaro Morata is now on his way to Como, with his move finally set in motion after Galatasaray reached a full agreement to sign Victor Osimhen from Napoli. Morata’s transfer had been stalled for several weeks due to Galatasaray’s long negotiations over Osimhen’s deal. But things moved quickly over the weekend as the Turkish side finalized the key details to bring in the Nigerian forward on a permanent basis.

Fabrizio Romano shared an update confirming that Morata will join Como once the Osimhen paperwork is fully completed. He noted that Morata has been waiting patiently for about a month for this switch to happen. Como and Morata had already settled personal terms, so the only thing left was Galatasaray’s clearance. With that now out of the way, the Spanish striker is set to make his return to Italy’s Serie A.

South Africa’s women’s national team coach, Desiree Ellis, has confidently stated that her team is ready to take down Nigeria once again as both sides gear up for their semi-final clash in the 2024 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations. The much-anticipated match between Banyana Banyana and the Super Falcons is scheduled for Tuesday, with high stakes as a spot in the final is up for grabs.

Despite Nigeria’s stronger overall record in past meetings, South Africa won their last WAFCON encounter in 2022, edging the Super Falcons 1-0 in Morocco. That result, Ellis believes, gives her team the belief and strategy needed to win again.

Speaking ahead of the clash, Ellis said they understand what it takes to defeat Nigeria and are fully prepared for the challenge. She added that her players know the weight of this fixture and are determined to come out on top.
