2019 Africa U-20 Cup of Nations, Flying Eagles Team

Flying Eagles coach names final squad for FIFA U-20 World Cup

Head Coach for the Nigeria U-20 team, the Flying Eagles, Paul Aigbogun, has named his final 21-man squad for this year’s FIFA U20 World Cup finals in Poland.

Ikouwem Utin, who is the captain of the team, is top on the list of players set to represent Nigeria at the Cadet World Cup.

Also making the final cut are goalkeeper Olawale Oremade, midfielder Kingsley Michael and forward Henry Offia.

Also included are defender Valentine Ozornwafor – named in the Team of the Tournament at the U20 AFCON finals in the Niger Republic in February – and vivacious attacking midfielder, Effiom Maxwell.

Mr Aigbogun spoke to the players over dinner at their Bad Goegging, Germany training camp on Monday where he unveiled the list.

The announcement by Mr Aigbogun comes less than 24 hours before the team tackles Austrian club, Red Bull Salzburg in the Austrian city of Salzburg on Tuesday evening.

The squad’s final pre-World Cup friendly will be against Red Bull Leipzig in Germany on Friday, with the delegation to fly out of Germany to Tychy on Sunday.

The Flying Eagles, seven-time champions of the African continent, have finished as runners-up at the FIFA World Cup on two occasions – 1989 and 1995 – and took the bronze medal in the former Soviet Union 34 years ago.

Nigeria’s last appearance at the FIFA U20 World Cup was in New Zealand four years ago, where Coach Manu Garba’s wards were eliminated in the Round of 16 by Germany in Christchurch.
