Future Eagles Arrive In Nigeria After Friendlies With Morocco

By Niyi Busari

Nigeria's U15 national team, the Future Eagles will arrive in the early hour of Tuesday in Lagos, BSNSports.com.ng reports.

The team's delegation will arrive in Lagos at 1:00 am Tuesday morning.

The Coach Bassey led team arrived in Casablanca, Morocco last Wednesday for two friendly matches against the Moroccan U16 national team where they recorded one loss and a draw.

 Morocco defeated Nigeria 2-0 in the first leg last Thursday before a dying minute penalty saved the hosts from 0-1 loss to the Nigerians. At 7:00pm on Sunday, Praise Adugbo raised Nigerians hope when he scored in the early minutes of the first half before Morocco equalised via a penalty in the 85th minute. The Nigeria U15 team is expected to metamorphose to the U17, the Golden Eaglets.

 With CAF U17 African Nations Cup and FIFA U17 World Cup coming every year, the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) under FIFA's Talent Development Scheme (TDS) in 2024 started early camping of U15 players by inviting 92 players who were later pruned down to 22 that embarked on training tour in Morocco.
