Bukola Olopade, the Director-General of the National Sports Commission (NSC), visited the Golden Eaglets during their final training session at the FIFA Goal Project, MKO Abiola National Stadium in Abuja, before their departure for the WAFU-B U17 Championship in Burkina Faso. He charged the team, led by head coach Eboboritse Uwejamomere, to excel in the championship and secure qualification for the Africa U17 Cup of Nations and the FIFA U17 World Cup.
Olopade emphasized the significance of representing Nigeria at the U17 level and assured the players that their success would be rewarded. He expressed confidence in the current squad and encouraged them to trust their preparation and follow their coaches' instructions.
