Flying Eagles head coach Aliyu Zubairu has declared that his team will fight hard to secure a place at the 2025 FIFA U-20 World Cup.
Zubairu’s side are among the 13 nations vying for honours at the 2025 Africa U-20 Cup of Nations in Egypt.
The biennial competition also serves as a qualifier for the World Cup, which is slated to take place in Chile later in the year.
The four semi-finalists in Egypt will qualify for the global tournament.
The gaffer stated that his team must first secure the ticket to Chile before setting their sights on the continental title.
“We wouldn’t want to put too much pressure on the boys, that they must win the trophy. The first target now is to get the ticket to the World Cup,”; Zubairu told NFF TV.
“When we get to the semi-final stage, we will sit them down again and talk about winning the title, but our first target is the World Cup ticket.”;
