Nigeria Withdraw From AFCON Beach Soccer

Nigeria’s Super Sand Eagles will not compete at the 2022 Beach Soccer Africa Cup of Nations.

Meanwhile, the Confederation of African Football (CAF) has released a revised fixture for the competition.

The withdrawal of Nigeria will see seven teams now compete for the ultimate prize at the fifth edition tournament.

Hosts Mozambique, Malawi and Morocco are the three (3) teams in Group A.
