Nigeria Clinch Bronze at African Hockey Cup of Nations

Posted : 20 October 2025

Nigeria’s men’s hockey team defeated Kenya 3-1 to win bronze at the African Hockey Cup of Nations in Egypt.

Nigeria have secured the bronze medal at the African Hockey Cup of Nations held at the Suez Canal Authority Stadium in Ismailia, Egypt.

The Nigerian men’s team delivered a determined performance, defeating Kenya 3-1 to claim third place in the championship.

Solomon Dennis opened the scoring for Nigeria with a field goal in the 16th minute. However, Usagi Sutcliffe equalized for Kenya in the 24th minute with a well-taken field goal.

Samaila James then struck twice from penalty corners in the 44th and 49th minutes, sealing the win and the bronze medal for Nigeria.

The victory served as revenge for Nigeria’s women’s team, who had earlier lost 0-1 to Kenya in their own third-place playoff. Bwire Grace’s 45th-minute field goal secured the bronze for the Kenyan women.

Meanwhile, South Africa dominated both the men’s and women’s finals to emerge as champions. The South African women crushed Ghana 4-0, while their men’s team thrashed Egypt 5-1 to win the gold medal for the eighth time.

Both South African teams will go on to represent Africa at the 2026 Hockey World Cup in Belgium and the Netherlands.
