Nigeria's Arrows Suffer First Defeat at Africa Men’s Handball Nations Cup
Nigeria's Arrows suffered their first defeat at the Africa Men’s Handball Nations Cup against Angola. Angola took control early in the contest, edging ahead in the first half.
Despite a spirited response from the Golden Arrow team in the second half, Angola's solid defense and experience proved decisive, leading them to victory. Nigeria's Faruk Yusuf and Salami Hakeem played key roles in the game, but Angola maintained composure to secure the win.
The defeat does not end Nigeria's push for a semi-final spot, as they now focus on a crucial match against Egypt. The Golden Arrow team will aim for a favorable result to secure a place in the final four and potentially qualify for the 2027 World Championship in Germany.
