Super Sand Eagles Prepare for Ghana Qualifiers with Senegal Friendlies

Nigeria’s Super Sand Eagles are set to face Senegal, the reigning African beach soccer champions, in a two-match international friendly in Kaduna. These matches will take place at the Murtala Muhammed Square Beach Soccer Arena, with the first match on October 3, 2026, and the second on October 5, both starting at 4:00 p.m.

This friendly series serves as vital preparation for Nigeria ahead of their qualifiers against Ghana for the 2026 Beach Soccer Africa Cup of Nations (BSAFCON). The Confederation of African Football has drawn Nigeria and Ghana together in the second round of qualifiers, with the first leg scheduled between October 9 and 11, and the return leg from October 16 to 18.

The overall winner will qualify for the continental finals in Senegal, set for November 7 to 15. Senegal, having already qualified as host and defending champion, has won five BSAFCON titles, while Nigeria, a two-time champion, aims to return to the finals after missing the 2024 edition.
