As the team gears up for the ultimate showdown, they will face arch-rivals Black Satellites of Ghana on Wednesday, aiming to defend their title.
Nigeria’s Flying Eagles took to the training pitch on Monday morning, recovering from their thrilling 3-1 semifinal win over Niger Republic on Sunday.
The one-hour session, supervised by Coach Aliyu Zubairu and his assistants, saw 19 players participate, with midfielder Sabi’u Ibrahim sidelined due to an ankle injury sustained in the 2-1 victory against Cote d’Ivoire.
The highly anticipated final will also serve as a precursor to next year’s Under 20 AFCON, where both Nigeria and Ghana have already secured their spots.
The Under 20 AFCON final between Nigeria’s Flying Eagles and Ghana’s Black Satellites promises to be an electrifying encounter, given the rich football rivalry between the two West African nations.
With a spotless record in the tournament, Coach Zubairu’s squad will look to maintain their momentum and bring home the championship title.
The Flying Eagles have secured a spot in the U-20 Africa Cup of Nations, scheduled for South Africa next year, by defeating Niger Republic 3-1 in the semifinal of WAFU Zone B U-20 Championship in Togo.
They will face Ghana in the final on Wednesday.
