WAFU B U17 Championship: Nigeria’s Golden Eaglets pass age test

The Confederation of African Football, on Tuesday, declared that all 20 players presented by Nigeria for the WAFU B U17 Championship starting in Accra, Ghana, on Wednesday had passed the examination with flying colours.

The declaration of eligibility of all the 20 players is testimony that the tests conducted on the players by the Nigeria Football Federation before the team’s departure were perfect, and sets the tone for the country to have an entire squad to defend the title she won last year, also in Ghana.

An ecstatic Head Coach Manu Garba said: “We are happy about the results. Having the whole squad prosecute the tournament somewhat puts our minds at rest.
