Holders Flying Eagles of Nigeria started their campaign at the 2024 WAFU B U-20 Championship on a losing note, going down to a 1-0 defeat against Burkina Faso.
Aliyu Zubairu’s side put up a shambolic display in the encounter played at the Stade Municipal, Lome .
The Flying Eagles were lucky not to concede in the first half with goalkeeper Nathanial Nwosu pulling off a big save to keep the scores even.
Fandino Abib Coulibaly however scored the winning goal for Burkina Faso four minutes before the hour mark.
The Nigerian boys now need to win their last group game against Cote d’Ivoire to have any chance of progressing to the semi-finals.
The encounter against the Ivorians will hold at the Stade Municipal next week Thursday.
Burkina Faso will next play Cote d’Ivoire in their second Group B match on Monday.

The author took the right words from my mind, this was a shambolic display by this team, who ever is the coach doesn’t deserve to be on the bench, this is the worst Flying Eagles have watched in a long time. No co-ordination, passing, marking was just terrible. Maybe the goalkeeper was the only outstanding person in the team. Where on earth did they unearth this useless players from.
Bokinabe guys could have been in camp for the past two years the way dey are playing. Ball dey their leg . While the eagles struggle to play Brazilian football as if they are professional players camped for four days ..
A coach that we knew nothing about, untested, Quota system shit = shit results. Another u20 generation about to miss out
You are so right.
He won the federation cup with Elkanemi,so he’s not a novice in coaching probably on the international level i will agree..Ladan Bosso should have carried on with coaching the flying eagles in my opinion he’s a decent coach.
Nigerians many who sees nothing good about Bosso,may start having a rethink haha
Congratulations NFF. Keep recycling mediocrity. Next will be Ladan Bosso. Same people everytime, same result. What a shame.
