It's a rematch of epic proportions as Ghana and Nigeria reignite their rivalry on the track in the ongoing World Athletics Relays in Bahamas.
The two African powerhouses have been pitted against each other in Heat 2 of the Paris 2024 Olympics qualifying event.
Ghana, racing in Heat 1, dropped the baton on Day 1 of the races, missing out on automatic qualification to the Olympics, while Nigeria finished fourth in their heat.
The two countries that competed in African Games 2023 in a nail-biting final, where Nigeria clinched gold, while Ghana won silver still stand a chance of qualifying to the Olympics if they finish first and second on Sunday.
Whereas Ghana will race from Lane 6, Nigeria will be in Lane 3. The West African countries will sandwich the Netherlands as they run out from Lane 5.
The other countries seeking qualifications from same heat are TĂĽrkiye, Saudi Arabia, and Korea, who were in the same race as Ghana on Day 1, and the Dominican Republic, as well as Thailand.
The race will start at 12:14 GMT.
