Niger will battle Ghana in the quarterfinals of the 2022 Championship of African Nations (CHAN) in Algeria come Saturday, January 28.
This is after the Menas stunned Cameroon 1-0 Tuesday night to win Group E of the competition.
An Ousseini Badamassi deflected free-kick in the 69th minute pushed the four-time campaigners through at the expense of the Intermediary Lions who only needed a draw from the game.

The Niger-Ghana quarterfinal clash is scheduled for Miloud Hadefi Stadium in Oran with kickoff at 19:00 GMT.
