Flying Eagles Target Semi-Final Spot Against Togo

The Flying Eagles of Nigeria, the defending champions, are set to face the Sparrow Hawks of Togo in a crucial Group B match at the Barry Konan Stadium in Yamoussoukro on Thursday. A victory will guarantee the Flying Eagles' passage to the semi-finals of the WAFU B U-20 Championship.

They commenced their tournament with an impressive 4-2 win against their rivals, Ghana. In contrast, Togo lost their opening match 3-1 to Burkina Faso and must secure a win against Nigeria to avoid an early exit from the competition.

The other Group B match will see Ghana face Burkina Faso. The top two teams from this tournament will qualify for the Africa U-20 Cup of Nations, which will be hosted by Ghana next year.
