Nigeria’s Flying Eagles on Friday suffered a disappointing 1-0 loss to Burkina Faso in their opening Group B match of the WAFU B U20 AFCON in Lome, Togo, putting their title defence in potential danger.
The defending champions, who arrived in Lome on Tuesday afternoon after an intensive one-week camping program at the Remo Stars Training Complex in Ikenne, Ogun State, now face an uphill battle to reach the knockout stages.
Before their departure, the team received a morale-boosting gesture from Kunle Soname, proprietor of the Remo Stars Institute and president of Nigeria Premier Football League club Remo Stars.
