U17 AFCON: We Will Face Every Team As They Come - Ugbade

As Nigeria's Golden Eaglet set for the concluding part of their training for the upcoming U17 African Cup of Nations, Nduka Ugbade has said they will face each team as they come, BSNSports.com.ng report.

The 5-time world champions are placed in one of the toughest groups of the competition where they will play against Morocco, South Africa, and Zambia.

Former Nigeria international admitted that the group is tough but believed that they have what it takes to scale the hurdles.

"It's quite interesting. We have always been waiting for this moment. We will face every team as they come. One after the other. 

We are not talking about winning the AFCON. We are talking and planning about winning each match. One after the other. We will fight. 

That's most probably the toughest group. I have an idea of West, South, North, and East African football. These are great nations but we are going to prepare ourselves for the onslaught. 

Everyone on those teams will feel like Nigeria. We have respect and a little fear knowing that we can lose. So with that, we have to prepare so it doesn't come to pass losing," Nduka told CAF media.
