Minister of Youth and Sports Development Mr. Sunday Dare has charged the Flying Eagles to make Nigeria proud by winning the WAFU B U-20 Tournament in Cotonou, Benin Republic.
Speaking during a visit to the team’s training in Abuja, Mr Dare said
“The Flying Eagles have always made us proud, go there and make Nigerians proud. We believe you are young, talented and determined. Your coaches have impacted much on you, go there and come back victorious.”
The team is expected to depart for the competition on Friday via Lagos. The Flying Eagles face Cote d’ Ivoire in their first game on Sunday barely 24 hours after the tournament kicks off.
