The Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) took the decision after plans for a training tour of Germany fell through.

The NFF called off the planned training tour due to logistical challenges and their failure to get a sponsor to bankroll the trip.

The Golden Eaglets are drawn in Group B with Zambia, Morocco and South Africa.

Nduka Ugbade’s side will face Morocco in their first game next week Sunday.

Algeria will host the competition from April 29 to May 19.
