Sudan Shocks Nigeria with 4-0 Victory, Eliminates Super Eagles from African Nations Championship
In a stunning upset on August 12, 2025, Sudan delivered a decisive 4-0 defeat to Nigeria in their African Nations Championship (CHAN) Group D match at Amaan Stadium in Zanzibar. The overwhelming performance by Sudan not only secured their place in the next round but also prematurely ended Nigeria’s campaign in the tournament.
The match kicked off at 17:00 UTC, with an energetic Sudanese side quickly asserting dominance on the pitch. Sudan’s goals came from a combination of sharp attacking play and unfortunate errors from the Nigerian defense, including an own goal that opened the scoring. Star striker Abdel Raouf Yagoub was pivotal, netting two goals and energizing the Sudanese squad.
Nigeria, widely expected to advance, struggled to find rhythm throughout the game and was unable to respond effectively. The loss was a major blow for the Super Eagles, who now face an early exit from a competition that holds great prestige for African football talent.
Sudan’s emphatic victory is being hailed as one of the remarkable surprises of this year’s African Nations Championship, highlighting the unpredictability and competitive spirit of the tournament.
