Nigeria’S U-20 national football team, the Flying Eagles, will move to Ikenne, Ogun State for a final camping programme ahead of their participation in this year’s WAFU B U-20 Championship, in Togo.

The 2023 FIFA World Cup quarterfinalists will camp at the high-grade Remo Sports Institute for a week before departing for Lome, Togo, where they will tackle Burkina Faso and Cote d’Ivoire in a three-team Group B, in their quest to defend the title they won in Niger Republic two years ago.
  
Hosts Togo will battle Ghana, Benin Republic, and Niger Republic in Group A of the competition, which is scheduled for October 17 to 31. The championship in Togo serves as the qualifying tournament for next year’s Africa U-20 Cup of Nations, from where the top-placed four teams will qualify to fly Africa’s flag at next year’s FIFA Junior World Cup finals in Chile.
