NIGERIA’s U-20 team, the Flying Eagles, will test their readiness for next month’s African Youth Championship with a friendly against their Saudi Arabia counterparts in Dubai.
Top NFF official, Emmanuel Ikpeme, disclosed that besides the Saudi Arabia tune-up match, the U-20s will also take on AYC hosts Libya this weekend in a two-match contest.
The Libya match was scheduled after the game against the Egypt U-20 team also slated for this week was cancelled following the civil unrest in that country.
Nigeria will finalise their build-up for the African Championship with a training camp in Turkey. The Flying Eagles, which won the AYC a record five times, are drawn in Group B of this year’s tournament along with world champions, Ghana, Cameroun and The Gambia.
