Nigeria’s hope of qualifying for the men’s football event at next year’s Olympic Games in Paris now hangs in the balance.
At the Moshood Abiola National Stadium in Abuja on Wednesday, Nigeria’s U23 boys failed to capitalise on their home advantage as they settled for a 0-0 draw against Guinea in the first leg of their U23 Africa Cup of Nations final qualifying fixture.
Despite the efforts of Success Makanjuola and Timilehin Ogunniyi, who were instrumental to Nigeria’s victory against Tanzania in Ibadan in October 2022, the team could not replicate their performance against a solid Guinea side.
