Nigeria’s Flying Eagles have begun preparations for the upcoming WAFU B U-20 Nations Cup. The tournament will help the team get ready for the 2025 FIFA U-20 World Cup.
Head coach Aliyu Zubairu has mostly retained players who represented Nigeria at the 2025 Africa U-20 Cup of Nations. This shows his confidence in their ability to perform well again.
The Flying Eagles are placed in Group A alongside hosts Ghana and Benin Republic. Their first match will be against Ghana on Thursday, July 10, followed by a game against Benin three days later.
The WAFU B Nations Cup features strong teams, with Niger Republic, Togo, Ivory Coast, and Burkina Faso competing in Group B.
This tournament is crucial for Nigeria as it gives the young players valuable experience ahead of the world stage later this year. Fans are hopeful the Flying Eagles will shine and make the country proud.
