Nigeria’s Flying Eagles surrender to Senegal as Mozambique hold Egypt in opening U20 AFCON tourney 

Nigeria’s U-20 national team, Flying Eagles, began their 2023 Africa Cup of Nations campaign in Egypt on a losing note Sunday evening with a 1-0 defeat to the junior Teranga Lions of Senegal.

The U-20 tournament serves as qualifiers to the FIFA U-20 World Cup in Indonesia but Ladan Bosso’s team have put themselves in a very difficult position after a disappointing game at the Cairo International Stadium.
