Africa Hockey Cup of Nations: Nigeria Off to a Flying Start

Posted : 13 October 2025

Nigeria Beat Ghana 2–1 in Men’s Opener as Women Fall Narrowly to Kenya

Nigeria got off to a flying start at the 2025 Africa Hockey Cup of Nations on Saturday, as the men’s team defeated Ghana 2–1 in the opening match of the tournament in Ismailia, Egypt.

The result marked a crucial victory for Nigeria in the 12th edition of the continental championship, boosting their hopes of progressing from the group stage.

However, it was a contrasting outcome for the women’s team, who suffered a narrow 0–1 loss to Kenya in a tightly contested encounter, marking a disappointing start to their ninth Africa Cup appearance.

Organized by the African Hockey Federation (AfHF), the tournament runs from October 11 to 18 in Ismailia. A total of 15 teams are competing across both categories, with the competition also serving as the African qualifier for the 2026 Hockey World Cup.

Nigeria’s men will return to action on Sunday against Kenya, while the women’s team face hosts Egypt in the day’s final fixture. The semi-finals are scheduled for October 16, with the finals for both categories taking place on October 18.
