The much-anticipated encounter is scheduled to take place at the Godswill Akpabio International Stadium in Uyo on Saturday. The first leg of this final qualifying round ended in a goalless draw last weekend in Accra.

The winner of this tie will secure a spot at CHAN 2024, which will be co-hosted by Uganda, Kenya, and Tanzania.

Both teams will be looking to capitalize on this opportunity to represent their nations at the prestigious tournament.
