2025 U-20 W/ Cup: Zubairu reveals Flying Eagles ambition in Chile

Flying Eagles head coach Aliyu Zubairu is optimistic his side will have a good outing at the 2025 FIFA U-20 World Cup in Chile, DAILY POST reports.

The seven-time African champions will face Saudi Arabia, Colombia, and Norway in Group C at the competition.

Zubairu declared that making it out of the group is important for his team.

“Coming out of the group is non-negotiable. We are studying our opponents closely — their strengths and individual qualities,” Zubairu told reporters.

The Flying Eagles finished third at the 2025 Africa U-20 Cup of Nations in March.

Nigeria finished second at the U-20 World Cup in Saudi Arabia in 1989, and in the Netherlands in 2005.
