The Flying Eagles have called up 35 players for a final training camp ahead of the 2025 U20 AFCON later this month in Egypt.
The core of the training squad is made up of the players who won the WAFU B U20 AFCON qualifiers in Togo last year.
Eleven players from the qualifiers led by captain Daniel Bamaiyi will be part of the training camp, which opened today in Abuja.
These players include No 1 goalkeeper Ebenezer Harcourt, Adamu Maigari, Kenneth Igbokwe, Sabiu Mohammed, Sulaiman Alabi ‘Jojo’, Nasiru Salihu, Oliseh Divine, Bidemi Amole and Clinton Jephta.
Golden Eaglets skipper Cletus Simon as well as striker Adeleke Abdulmuiz, who featured at the 2025 U17 AFCON qualifiers in Ghana, have been listed.
As first reported by SCORENigeria, there are also seven overseas-based pros listed for this final phase of camping.
The Flying Eagles are drawn in “Group of Death” along with hosts Egypt, Morocco and South Africa.
The U20 AFCON begins in Cairo, Egypt, on April 27.
The semifinalists of the tournament will represent Africa at the 2025 FIFA U20 World Cup in Chile.
