Supersand Eagles on the Brink of Beach Soccer AFCON Qualification



Nigeria's Supersand Eagles are poised to make a triumphant return to international beach soccer, needing only a draw against Mauritania in Kaduna on Saturday to secure a ticket to the Beach Soccer Africa Cup of Nations.

The two-time African champions took a significant step towards qualification with a hard-fought 5-4 win against Mauritania in Nouakchott last week. Goals from Emeka Ogbonna, Emmanuel Ohwoferia, Taiwo Adams, and a brace from Victor Tale sealed the victory.

The Return Leg
The Beach Soccer Arena in Kaduna will host the return leg, kicking off at 5 pm. The Confederation of African Football has appointed Mozambican officials to oversee the match, ensuring a fair and smooth contest.

Coach Abdullahi Isa has a talented and experienced squad at his disposal, including Adams, Ohwoferia, Godwin Tale, Victor Tale, Egan-Osi Ekujimi, Chidozie Frank, Isah Arome, and Hassan Abdullahi. A draw or win on Saturday will send the Supersand Eagles to the finals in Egypt, joining hosts Egypt, Morocco, and Tanzania, who have already qualified.

Other Qualifying Matches
This weekend's fixtures include:
  • Senegal vs Guinea (9-3)
  • Cote d'Ivoire vs Ghana (3-5)
  • Mozambique vs Seychelles (7-3)
  • Malawi vs Burundi (7-6)
With a strong performance and a bit of luck, the Supersand Eagles will be back on the continental stage, ready to take on the best of African beach soccer.
