Flying Eagles head coach Aliyu Zubairu is optimistic his side will have a good outing at the 2025 FIFA U-20 World Cup in Chile, DAILY POST reports.
The seven-time African champions will face Saudi Arabia, Colombia, and Norway in Group C at the competition.
Zubairu declared that making it out of the group is important for his team.
“Coming out of the group is non-negotiable. We are studying our opponents closely — their strengths and individual qualities,” Zubairu told reporters.
The Flying Eagles finished third at the 2025 Africa U-20 Cup of Nations in March.
Nigeria finished second at the U-20 World Cup in Saudi Arabia in 1989, and in the Netherlands in 2005.
