Nigeria Flying Eagles Prepare Promising Squad for 2025 U20 World Cup in Chile

Nigeria's Flying Eagles are preparing for the 2025 FIFA U-20 World Cup in Chile with a mission to avoid the disappointment experienced by their 1987 predecessors, who finished last in their group despite high expectations. The current squad features a blend of Europe-based talents like Daniel Daga, a defensive midfielder with experience at Molde FK in Norway, and homegrown stars such as Suleiman, who earned NPFL Rookie of the Year honors, and striker Arierhi, known for his goal-scoring prowess. Coach Aliyu Zubairu has expressed confidence in the team’s potential to make history, highlighting key players like goalkeeper Sporting Lagos and defenders Akinyele and Daniel Bameyi, who provide strength and leadership at the back. The team aims to capitalize on the experience and skill of these standout players to finally secure Nigeria's first FIFA U-20 World Cup title, building on the legacy of past squads that have contributed significantly to the senior Super Eagles. With a squad combining youthful promise and tactical maturity, Nigeria is positioned to challenge strongly as they open their campaign against Norway.
