Home-based Eagles “Chelled” out of CHAN 2025
The Nigeria Home-based Eagles suffered a devastating defeat against Sudan, effectively ending their 2025 Africa Nations Championship (CHAN) campaign. The Eagles, led by Eric Chelle, struggled to find their footing in the game, conceding five goals and failing to capitalize on their chances.
Despite dominating the NPFL champions Remo Stars earlier, the Eagles could not replicate their performance against Sudan. The match saw Sudan's Abdel Raouf Yagoub score twice, with Walieldin Khdir adding a penalty to seal Nigeria's fate.
With the loss, Nigeria finds itself at the bottom of the group standings, facing elimination from the tournament. The Eagles will need a victory against Congo on the final day, but their chances remain uncertain due to their misfiring performance under Chelle's leadership.
