The schedule of the Flying Eagles at the WAFU B U20 AFCON qualifying tournament has been made public.
The Flying Eagles led by coach Abdu Maikaba will begin the defence of their sub-regional crown when they take on perennial rivals Ghana on July 27 in Yammoussoukro.
Both Nigeria and Ghana slugged it for the championship in the 2024 final in Lome, Togo, with the Flying Eagles winning 2-1.
On July 30, the Flying Eagles will face Togo before a final group game against Burkina Faso.
All three games will kick off 3pm, which is an hour ahead of the local time.
The finalists of this sub-regional qualifying series will qualify for the 2027 U20 AFCON to be hosted by Ghana.
The Flying Eagles will depart Abuja for Cote d’Ivoire Monday.
