Nigeria draw Ghana in Beach Soccer AFCON qualifiers

Nigeria will face Ghana in the second round of the 2026 Beach Soccer Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers after being drawn together in a recent draw in Egypt. The two West African rivals will compete in a best-of-three leg format, with the first leg scheduled for October 9-11 and the return leg from October 16-18. Senegal will host the 2026 tournament, which aims to crown Africa's best beach soccer nation.

Nigeria, who missed out on the 2024 edition, will be looking to secure their place among Africa's elite beach soccer teams after their previous failure to reach the finals.
