WAFU Zone B U17 Championship – Golden Eaglets Intensify Preparations

Golden Eaglets came from a goal down to defeat John Utaka Football Academy (JUFA) 3-1 in another friendly game played at the FIFA goal project, MKO Stadium, Abuja on Saturday evening.

It was a very difficult test game and the Eaglets had to really work hard for the equaliser to end the first half at 1-1.

But the superior quality of the team was very visible in the second half, where the team scored two more goals to emerge victorious at the end of 90 mins.

The five-time world champions have been in camp for four weeks in preparation for the WAFU Zone B championship billed for Benin Republic in January, 2021.

The zonal tournament also serves as CAF U17 African Nations Cup and World Cup qualifiers. The finalists automatically qualify for the U17 Nations Cup where the World Cup tickets will be picked.
