Bosso invites 40 players to Flying Eagles camp ahead of U-20 AFCON
Flying Eagles of Nigeria head coach Ladan Bosso has invited 40 players to camp to begin preparations for the the U-20 Africa Cup of Nations.
Seven time Champions Nigeria will participate at the 2023 African Championship for Under-20 players scheduled to hold in Egypt from February 18, 2023.
To qualify for the tournament, the Flying Eagles emerged WAFU Zone B Champions in May 2022.
