The President, Nigeria Football Federation (NFF), Ibrahim Gusau has said that the camp of the Flying Eagles will be declared opened early ahead of their 2024 WAFU B championship, BSNSports.com.ng reports.

Gusau in an exclusive interview with BSN Sports said the team will enjoy more than two months camping for the coach to get the players well prepared for the regional competition.

He regrets recent not-too-good result of the Nigeria U17 team at the WAFU B competition where they failed to qualify for the final. This, according to him is one of the major reasons the Flying Eagles must enjoy early preparation.

"The NFF is doing everything in making sure that Nigeria qualify for the CAF U20 African Nations Cup and to achieve this, we must perform well and pick the ticket from the WAFU B championship. To this end, the Flying Eagles will enjoy early preparation ahead of the 2024 WAFU B U20 men's competition which will start in October, 2024." Gusau told www.bsnsports.com.ng

Lome, Togo will be the venue for the WAFU B U20 qualifiers to be played between October 17 and 31, 2024.
