Flying Eagles Face Togo for WAFU B U20 Semi-Final Spot
The Flying Eagles, Nigeria’s U20 football team, are set to play against Togo in their second group match of the WAFU B U20 Championship on Thursday in Yamoussoukro. Following a 4-2 victory over Ghana, the Flying Eagles currently top Group B on goal difference, ahead of Burkina Faso’s Young Stallions, who defeated Togo 3-1.
The Flying Eagles aim to secure a semi-final spot with a win, while Togo seeks to keep their hopes alive in the tournament. Key players in the previous match included Muiz Adeleke, who scored two penalties, and contributions from Olayemi Ayinla and Lucky Oraro.
Coach Abdu Maikaba emphasizes the importance of this match as they strive for qualification for the U20 Africa Cup of Nations in Ghana next year. A victory would bring Nigeria to six points, setting the stage for a significant clash with Burkina Faso on Sunday.
