Head coach of the home-based Super Eagles, Salisu Yusuf, says the 2023 Africa Nations Championship (CHAN) final qualification tie against the Black Galaxies of Ghana is not about revenge.
The home-based Eagles will be guests to Ghana in the first leg billed for August 28 in Accra, with the reverse fixture scheduled for the MKO Abiola National Stadium, Abuja on September 3.
Recall the Super Eagles were stopped from qualifying for this year’s World Cup in Qatar by the Black Stars.
After holding the four-time AFCON champions to a goalless draw away, the Eagles could only manage a 1-1 draw in Abuja to miss this year’s tournament.

Yusuf was part of the Eagle coaching crew headed by Austine Eguavoen.
And speaking ahead of the CHAN qualifiers, Yusuf said the home-based Eagles are only concentrated on beating Ghana and pick the ticket for next year’s tournament.
“For me it’s not about revenge it’s about qualification,” he said on Brila FM.
“So the most important thing is for us to qualify and to qualify we have to beat Ghana and it’s our wish and prayer that will happen.”
The Black Galaxies progressed into the play-off round after overcoming Benin Republic.
