Nigeria's U20 national team, the Flying Eagles , have been drawn in a tricky Group A alongside arch-rivals Ghana and neighbours Benin Republic for the 2025 WAFU Zone B U-20 Boys' Cup of Nations, Soccernet.ng reports .
The tournament, which serves as a qualifying pathway to the U-20 Africa Cup of Nations, will now be staged from July 10 to 23, 2025 at the GFA Technical Centre in Prampram, Ghana, after being rescheduled from its original June date.
Led by head coach Aliyu Zubairu , the Flying Eagles are returning to camp in Abuja after the postponement and will resume preparations for what promises to be a fiercely contested competition.
Games between Nigeria and Ghana , often tagged the Jollof Derby', are always closely fought at all levels.
Nigeria have had the upper hand recently. The Super Eagles defeated the Black Stars at the Unity Cup last month while the Flying Eagles claimed a thrilling 2-1 victory over the Black Satellites in the final of last year's WAFU B tournament.
