The Flying Eagles train ahead of Colombia's test at the 2023 U-20 World Cup

Posted : 10 May 2023
Nigeria's U-20 Flying Eagles have begun intensive training ahead of the crunch tie against Colombia in the preliminary matches of the U-21 World Cup in Argentina.

On Monday evening, Head Coach Isah Ladan Bosso and his assistants drilled Nigeria’s U-20 boys, the Flying Eagles, in their first training session since arriving in the Argentine capital, Buenos Aires, on Sunday.

The session, which took place at the team’s Howard Johnson Hotel & Resorts, lasted for 90 minutes and concentrated on recovery after the long trip from Nigeria to the South American nation through Turkey.

The team had another training session on Tuesday as the focus gradually shifts to a friendly match against the U20 team of Colombia, which has been scheduled for the Tristan Suarez Stadium in Buenos Aires on Tuesday, May 16 at 4 p.m. Argentina time (8 p.m. Nigeria time).

Colombia, who play in Group C of the FIFA U20 World Cup alongside African champions Senegal, Japan, and Israel, will seek the opportunity to have an idea of what to expect against the Cub Lions of the Teranga when both teams clash in La Plata on Saturday, May 27.

Incidentally, Nigeria will also be utilising the friendly with Colombia to get an idea of what to expect when they take on another South American team, Brazil, also in La Plata on the same day, May 27.

In fact, the Nigeria-Brazil match comes up just before the Senegal-Colombia clash inside the same arena. Bosso and Wards will fly from Buenos Aires to Mendoza, the venue of Nigeria’s first two matches against the Dominican Republic and Italy, on Wednesday, May 17.
