Senator Teslim Folarin has charged the Nigeria U20 National Team to go for gold in the oncoming 2023 CAF U20 African Nations Cup in Egypt.

The seven times African champions defeated the Junior Chipolopolo of Zambia 4-2 on Friday in an international friendly match in Abuja.

Folarin message was relayed by Super Eagles mascot, Kulu Igbayilola after the international friendly match in Abuja.

"Seven times we have won the CAF U20 African Nations Cup. That alone is enough motivation to spur the Nigeria team to victory.

"Folarin has been following their preparations where they won 16 friendly matches before putting the Zambians to sword today. Yes, there will be challenges at the competition but the ability to surpass those challenges and come back to Nigeria with the title will make their names to be written in gold.

"I urge you all to go all out and represent the over two hundred million Nigerians by beating all opponents to the trophy." Folarin said.

APC Governorship candidate in Oyo State, Senator Teslim Folarin sponsored supporters from Ibadan to Abuja to cheer the Flying Eagles to victory in their international friendly match against Zambia.

Nigeria are in group A with the host, Egypt, Senegal and Mozambique. The WAFU B champions will open their campaign against Senegal on 19th February, 2023
