The hunt for African Games gold starts for Nigeria’s Flying Eagles as they battle Uganda in their opening match

Nigeria’s U-20 team, the Flying Eagles, kick off their African Games campaign today in Legon, Ghana, facing Uganda in their Group B opener.

Coach Ladan Bosso’s 20-man squad, including veterans like captain Daniel Bameyi, aims to go one better than their 2019 silver medal finish, where they fell to Burkina Faso in the final.

They’ll face competition from South Sudan and Uganda in the group stage.
