D competitn is strictly 4 home based so u guyz shld stop askin questions.y is sibi gwar nt dere?

The title is misleading. There's nothing strong about this team.

Policewoman: What is CHAN again e joo?? ??

The CHAN is the bi-annual championship for quasi-national teams made up of home-based players only. Countries can only field players who play in their domestic league.

In essence, it is a showcase for the best talent left on the continent and a contest to see which country has the best domestic league.

CAF introduced the tournament because of alarm at the fact that African-based talent was no longer getting international exposure because most national teams are filled with European-based professionals. South Africa have participated in the previous two editions but not taken the event seriously.

South Africa did not qualify for the first finals in the Ivory Coast but, to widespread surprise, made it to the second tournament in Sudan two years ago, with a side made up of players unable to hold down regular squad places at their clubs, and dubbed "Amabinneplaas".

keshi should make it an avenue to choose d best of d best homebased players with gut nt some Gambo

What's strong in this squad?

I think this is an opportunity for Gambo to shine.

Also, I'm surprised Cibuzor Okonkwo is still based.

executinal: I never hear CHAN before ooh

Because Nigeria did not qualify for teh last 2 editions.

Ahmed Musa shone in this tournament in his last season as home-based in 2009 or so.

jackie chan

nwapee: Home based players again? Not even a foriegn based player against a team like the ivorians. Hope the boss is right on this.

u make me laugh..olodo,it is for homebase playerz.

na dis people u dey call strong squad?...

ok den... i case my rest....

igbos has started kidnap yoruba,thank jah police kill them like chiken,thas why igbo plenty 4 prison,2 hell with entire igbos,tanks 4 ur coporatorology

freakcin: The title is misleading. There's nothing strong about this team.

Its meant for the home base players of super eagles, hence they are the strong squad Nigeria can boast of except you dont know anything about Nigerian League

idowuswap: igbos has started kidnap yoruba,thank jah police kill them like chiken,thas why igbo plenty 4 prison,2 hell with entire igbos,tanks 4 ur coporatorology

u are sayin truth,tanks 4 telling thieves tribe na only dem need money,?

Emmysteve: Its meant for the home base players of super eagle, and thats our strong squad except you dont know anything about Nigerian League

I might not know much about Nigerian league, I'll give you that. . .

I know a lil bit about Ivorian league though and I can assure you, the likes of Gambo is weak, viz-a-viz CIV home based players!

Jarus:

Really?? Is good for home development. Nice idea from CAF

This squad is truly strong......but can they play against players from Asec Mimosas that I know of??

idowuswap: u are sayin truth,tanks 4 telling thieves tribe na only dem need money,?

Ode..ediot

Abu Mikey: This squad is truly strong......but can they play against players from Asec Mimosas that I know of??

They can, trust me

mind you, Gambo is not weak as you posited. He is a top striker in Kano pillars. missing a clear chances does not make him weak, after all, the likes of Edeye, mikel, yakubu, osaze, uche etc also missed chances like that. The only thing Gambo is lacking is international exposure

nwapee: Home based players again? Not even a foriegn based player against a team like the ivorians. Hope the boss is right on this.

i strongly hope he is right too. but i have the feeling that this will work because these guys are hungry for the fame an action, so, they will deliver.

And the most sweetiest part of it is that the first leg will be played in Ahmadu Bello stadium Kaduna. my opportunity to watch the eagles live.

And who has time to start babysitting and waiting for Gambo to mature with world cup so close? Did you know Finidi during his days in Nigerian leaugue? Jay-jay? Amuneke?

These guys shone like a zillion stars merged into one while still home based . . . morning they say shows the day!

Now the hard work of Stephen Keshi coming to bear on the home base...8 full international Home base...we can't boast of this in the past...Keshi has turned our football around for good. This is what Siasia failed to do.

idowuswap: igbos has started kidnap yoruba,thank jah police kill them like chiken,thas why igbo plenty 4 prison,2 hell with entire igbos,tanks 4 ur coporatorology

You get head injuries?

CHAN tournament started in 2009 and was first hosted by COTE DIVORE and DR CONGO were the first winner of the tournament,,,,2011 edition was host by SUDAN and won by TUNISIA....i don tell una make una dy watch football like me una knw go things like me,,,lol

I'm still laughing at people's comments here and I'm not surprised. You use your MB to browse nairaland, update your Facebook profile and chat on whatsapp. imagine someone asking what is chan, or why only home based players I no fit laugh abeg. Ignorance bad sha after una go dey abuse GEJ for being clueless.

Gambo is a great player, if u know the NPL well...missing a goal in first international cap against world champion is not enough to make him a bad player..he merit another chance dude!

CHAN is meant for mostly homebased players

U wanno quote where I called him a bad player? I called him weak viz-a-viz the Ivorians, till he proves otherwise, I suggest you let him answer his name!

I sincerely hope that this time around, the Big Boss would give Nigerians formidable strikers that won't brake our hearts again

I hope he proves himself...

Keshi is stil experimenting with home-based players even with a high profile match as this? God help us.
