U-20 AFCON: Flying Eagles to face CAR, Congo in friendlies

The Flying Eagles will take on the Central African Republic and Congo in friendlies ahead of the 2023 Africa U-20 Cup of Nations.

Ladan Bosso’s side arrived in Morocco for a one-week training tour on Friday morning.

The Flying Eagles were earlier expected to play fellow AFCON bound teams, Benin Republic and South Sudan in friendlies but their late arrival in Morocco scuttled that arrangement.

Ladan Bosso’s side will take on Central African Republic on Sunday.

The second friendly against Congo is slated for Wednesday, February 15.

The seven-time champions will depart for Egypt next Friday.

Their opening game at the U-20 AFCON is billed for the Cairo International Stadium on Sunday, February 19.

Hosts Egypt and Mozambique are the other teams in the group.
