The head coach of the Flying Eagles, Aliyu Zubairu, has responded to the 2025 Africa U-20 Cup of Nations draw.
The seven-time champions have been drawn with Tunisia, Kenya, and Morocco in Group C.
According to Zubairu, there are no longer any minor teams in Africa, despite experts predicting that the Flying Eagles will win the draw.
“I believe it’s time to stop considering some teams to be bigger than others,” he told Soccernet.ng.
