These are not the best of times for the Golden Eaglets after they lost their first test game ahead of the WAFU B U17 AFCON amid the failure of an age test by more than half of the first team.
Morac Academy from Delta State handed the coach Manu Garba-led team their first loss since they opened training camp in Abuja last month.
The academy fired two goals in the second half to record a 2-0 victory over what apparently was an weakened side caused the MRI disqualification.
Officials have informed SCORENigeria that the players who made the final squad list for the U17 AFCON qualifiers will know their fate tonight.
“The players will know who has made the squad,” a team official disclosed.
This will be ahead of the Monday deadline for the submission of the final squad.
The WAFU B U17 AFCON will kick off on May 15.
Defending champions Nigeria are in Group B along with Burkina Faso, Togo and Niger Republic.
