Niger to host Sudan in Togo after rescinding earlier decision to play in Morocco

Niger will host Sudan in a Group F matchday four AFCON 2025 Qualifier in Togo after

This follows a decision by the Nigerien Football Federation to select the KG Stadium in Lome, the capital of Togo, as their adopted home venue instead of the Moulay Hassan Stadium in Rabat.

Niger, who still do not have a CAF-approved stadium to host Category Three matches, initially chose the 12,000-seater Moulay Hassan Stadium in Rabat as their home venue for the game.

Based on this decision, the team traveled to Morocco for a two-day camp in Rabat to prepare for the match against Sudan.

However, Niger have since moved camp to Togo, in preparation for the match which is scheduled to be played on Thursday, November 14.

Sudan won the reverse fixture by 1-0, courtesy a second half strike by Abu Bakr at the Juba Stadium in September.

Sudan is second in Group F with seven points from four matches and needs two points from their two matches remaining to secure a spot at AFCON 2025.

Niger meanwhile, are bottom of the group with just a point, with practically no chance of qualification.
