Niger’s local national team coach, Harouna Doula, has unveiled his 24-man squad for the crucial doubleheader against Togo in the second round of the CHAN 2024 qualifiers.
Speaking to the media on Wednesday, Doula shared his confidence in the team’s ability to secure a place in the final tournament.

The team has been rigorously preparing for this challenge, with the squad composed of some of Niger’s top talents drawn from the local leagues.
The CHAN (African Nations Championship) tournament exclusively features players who compete in their domestic leagues, making this an important platform for showcasing local talent.
Doula has expressed optimism about his team’s readiness, emphasizing their commitment to securing a spot in the prestigious competition.
“We have carefully selected players who have shown their quality and consistency in the local league.
Our objective is clear: to advance to the next stage and represent Niger with pride,” Doula said.
The matches against Togo’s Sparrowhawks promise to be fiercely contested, as both teams aim to capitalize on this opportunity to qualify for CHAN 2024.
For Niger, it is not just about winning but also about demonstrating the growth and potential of their domestic football system.
The Mena’s squad is built around experienced players and emerging talents, a combination Doula believes will give them an edge in the upcoming encounters.
Fans of Niger’s national team will be eagerly watching, hopeful that the Mena can rise to the occasion and deliver a strong performance.
The CHAN qualifiers mark an important moment for Nigerien football, as the team seeks to make a mark on the continental stage.
With determination and unity, the Mena are ready to take on the challenge posed by Togo and aim for a successful outcome in this two-legged clash.
