F/Eagles face Benin in AYC warm-up
Flying Eagles striker Aminu Umar
President of the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF), Aminu Maigari, said the friendly will serve as a tune-up game for the African champions ahead of their African Youth Championship qualifier away in Tanzania on July 28.
The test match will be played either in Ibadan or Lagos.
The Benin team have already held the Ghana U20 team to a goalless draw in another friendly in Ghana.
The Flying Eagles featured in a recent eight-nation invitational tournament in Cape Town, South Africa.
The team handled by John Obuh have been training in the capital city of Abuja since their return from South Africa early last month.
John Obuh is an idiot who lack onion when it comes to coaching the U20. Right now he;s coaching north U20.not the fkying eagles. I;m with the assumption he favours northern extraction than those from south. I said it here prior to the eight natiion tournament there is bias in john obuh's selection. If you travel to Warri, Sapele, Owerri, Benin,Abeokuta,Lagos, Umuahia ,Ibadan, Enugu port etc. These are some of the cities we know that produce all the great players that land ever had with a few tokens. It's quite clear this man John Obuh has other agenda
I want Siasia to replace him now before it's too late . You can win all the U20 African champ but expect to get crushed when you play the world.with a bunch of shoe repairers from the north he assembled.
