U-17 AFCON: Nigeria’s Golden Eaglets seek to end 16-year African title drought

Expectations are high that the 2023 set of Nigeria’s U-17 team, led by Coach Nduka Ugbade, will do Nigeria proud as they kick-start their quest for a third African title since 2007.

The team will file out against Zambia on Sunday at the Mohamed Hamlaoui Stadium at 5 p.m.

With a record 10 appearances in the tournament, the Golden Eaglets, two-time winners in 2001 and 2007, are eager to reclaim their position as the dominant force in African youth football.
