Flying Eagles Defender Out of U-20 World Cup Due to Injury

Nigeria's Flying Eagles will miss defender Adamu Maigari in the upcoming U-20 World Cup due to an injury sustained during training. Maigari played a significant role in the team's performance at the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations in Egypt, where they finished third.

The Flying Eagles are preparing for the World Cup in Chile and are set to finalize their squad for the tournament. Head coach Aliyu Zubairu is expected to announce the squad ahead of the competition, where Nigeria is drawn in Group F alongside Norway, Colombia, and Saudi Arabia.

Maigari's absence poses a challenge for the team as they aim to make an impact at the prestigious tournament.
