Nigerias Flying Eagles
Nigeria’s U-20 national team, Flying Eagles, have qualified for the semi-final of the ongoing 2024 WAFU B U-20 championship in Lome, Togo.
This was after the team on Thursday defeated Cote d’Ivoire 2-1 in their last group game.
Goals from Clinton Jephta and Kparobo Arierhi ensured a hard earned victory for the Nigerian side.
Even with the lackluster performance, Nigeria still managed to top the group with a better goal difference, ahead of Cote d’Ivoire and Burkina with same points.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that Nigeria will now clash with Niger Republic in one of the semi-final matches for a place in the final, and a ticket to the U-20 AFCON slated for South Africa in January 2025. (NAN)
