About 14 years after they last met, Niger and South Africa are set to renew their rivalry. They meet at the 2025 African Nations Championship (Chan). Playing in Group C, South Africa have four points, and Niger are yet to earn any. Let’s have a look at the match preview and a prediction.
Niger are making a fifth appearance at this competition, and in this edition they’ll look to finally make it to the final. In the last tournament they finished fourth, but this time they’ll need a shift from their performance in the opening two matches to get even close.
Niger are coming from a 2-0 loss to co-hosts Uganda, having earlier lost 1-0 to Guinea.
South Africa are only making a third appearance at the Chan finals, and it has been over 10 years since their last participation. Their best performance was reaching the quarters in the 2011 edition.
There’s a chance they could match that this time. A win here will move them closer to that ambition. They opened their campaign against Algeria with a 1-1 draw, coming from behind.
The Bafana Bafana improved on that performance with a 2-1 win against Guinea. That marked a run of nine matches in which they lost only once. These two nations met in the 2011 Chan edition and South Africa won 2-0.

Our Niger vs South Africa Prediction
Niger will come into this game as the underdogs. They still have two matches to play and can actually salvage their tournament. However, going by their opening performances, it will take a lot to bank three points from this encounter.
Niger have already lost their opening two games and haven’t shown much promise for the remaining two. Meanwhile, South Africa were slow starters but have picked up and will be our bet to prevail in this match. Our prediction for Niger v South Africa is that South Africa wins the match.
