The home-based Super Eagles of Nigeria, also referred to as Super Eagles B, made amends after defeating Congo 2-0 in their CHAN 2024 group round match.

The result has boosted confidence within the camp, with fans hailing the team’s improved display compared to their previous outings. Head coach Eric Chelle praised his players’ discipline and execution.
