Nigeria’s Flying Eagles have been placed in Group A alongside West African rivals Ghana and Benin for the upcoming WAFU Zone B U-20 Cup of Nations, scheduled to take place in Prampram, Ghana.
Set to run from July 10 to 23, 2025, the tournament will see only the top two teams from each group progressing to the semifinals, setting the stage for a tightly contested group phase.
Group B features a challenging line-up as well, with Cote d’Ivoire, Burkina Faso, Niger, and Togo all competing for a spot in the last four.
The competition was initially slated for June 15 to 30 but will now kick off on July 10 at the GFA Technical Centre in Prampram — Ghana’s premier football development venue.
