Flying Eagles defender, Emmanuel Chukwu says the team is determined to start their campaign at the 2025 Africa U-20 Cup of Nations on a winning note.
Aliyu Zubairu’s men will open their campaign against the Young Carthage Eagles of Tunisia at the June 30 Stadium, Cairo on Thursday (today).
“We understand the importance of this game, as it is our first in the competition, the youngster told NFF TV.
Our coaches have prepared us for the task ahead. They have also told us how to approach the game.We are going for the three points, we are ready, and sure won’t disappoint the fans.”
The four semi-finalists in Egypt will qualify for the 2025 FIFA U-20 World Cup in Chile later in the year.
Chukwu said the team’s main objective is to make it to the World Cup.
“Like the coach said, the first target is to get the ticket to the World Cup first, and then we can look forward to taking the trophy home,” he said.
