The Flying Eagles’ head coach, Ladan Bosso, is adamant that his team’s age-grade history would be crucial to its chances of success at the 2023 Africa U-20 Cup of Nations.

The competition, which begins on Sunday, will feature 12 teams competing for honors, including Bosso’s team (today).

With the hosts Egypt, Mozambique, and Senegal, the Flying Eagles are in a challenging group.

On Sunday at the Cairo International Stadium, the seven-time winners will play the Senegalese team, the Cubs (today).

“Nigeria has experience in major tournaments and we’re in Egypt to compete and we will give our best,” Bosso said during his interaction with the media on Saturday.

Bosso also emphasized how helpful the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) was in helping his team get ready for the match.

“We received the support of the Nigeria Football Federation as we prepared for tournament with regular camps to be at a very good level,” Bosso added.

The most recent title won by Nigeria at this level was in 2015.

The Flying Eagles have only lost two championship games, in 1999 and 2007, while placing third three times (1995, 2005, 2013, and 2019) and fourth in all other contests.
