As part of their preparations, the Black Galaxies secured a victory over Togo in an international friendly last week, boosting confidence ahead of the high-stakes clash.
The 2025 CHAN tournament is set to take place across Kenya, Uganda, and Tanzania.
This marks the second consecutive meeting between Ghana and Nigeria in the qualifiers. The Black Galaxies edged out their rivals in a penalty shootout two years ago to earn a spot in the previous edition.
