Flying Eagles Ready to Ground Rampaging Ivorians in WAFU B Final

Nigeria’s U20 team, the Flying Eagles, face a high-stakes showdown against Cote d’Ivoire’s in-form Young Elephants in the final of the WAFU B U20 Boys Tournament in Accra, Ghana.

The Ivorians have dominated all four of their previous matches and defeated host Ghana in a gutsy comeback in the semi-finals.

The Flying Eagles, led by Coach Aliyu Zubair, battled through a tough semi-final win over Niger Republic on penalties after a goalless draw in regulation time.

Mohammed Abdullahi and Ezekiel Kpangu will be key players for Nigeria, while the Ivorians rely on attacking duo Abdoul Bamba and Ali Kone.

A win would cement Coach Zubair’s rising reputation after recent successes in Togo and Egypt.
