Black Stars of Ghana Face Niger in Crucial AFCON Qualifier

The Black Stars of Ghana are set to face Niger in an important matchday two encounter of the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) qualifiers.

This match will mark the 15th meeting between the two teams, with Ghana having a significant advantage in the past, having won 11 matches, lost 2, and drawn 1 out of 14 previous encounters.
