Coach Manu Garba has picked a final 19-man squad for the WAFU B U17 AFCON qualifiers, which kicks off Wednesday in Ghana.
Mavlon attacking midfielder Simon Cletus is the captain, while Remo Stars trio of Abdulmuiz Adeleke, Oreoluwa Agbenla and Daniel Arierhi from the NPFL U17 Youth League made the final cut.
The Golden Eaglets are the defending champions and they will fly into Accra with the mandate of not only successfully defending the regional crown, but to continue to improve the squad for a great outing at the U17 AFCON and onwards to a probable sixth world title.
The Eaglets begin their defence of the title when they confront their counterparts from Burkina Faso at the University Stadium on Thursday, 16th May with kickoff set for 3pm Ghana time (4pm Nigeria time), before matches against Niger Republic on Sunday, 19th May (6pm Ghana, 7pm Nigeria) and Togo on Wednesday, 22nd May (4pm Ghana, 5pm Nigeria).
The match against Niger Republic will also hold at the University Stadium while the clash with Togo will take place at the Accra Sports Stadium.
