Niger Holds South Africa to 0-0 Draw, Leaving CHAN 2024 Group C Undecided - August 2025

South Africa's Bafana Bafana were held to a frustrating 0-0 draw by Niger's Menas in a 2024 African Nations Championship (Chan) Group C match in Kampala. The result leaves the contest for the two quarter-final spots intensely close and delicately poised. South Africa has five points, level with Algeria and one point behind leaders Uganda. Uganda, Algeria, and South Africa hold strong positions, but Guinea and Niger still have mathematical chances to advance. The race for the Group C quarter-final spots will go down to the wire on August 19, 2025, with final matches concluding in Kampala and Nairobi.
