<br>Editorial
<br>
<br>We are filled with anticipation as the Flying Eagles prepare to take centre stage in Côte d’Ivoire. There’s a certain magic that comes with watching these young talents step up and carry the hopes of a nation. Nigeria’s record at youth level speaks for itself, but now it’s about writing a fresh chapter in [Korhogo](https://www.footballinnigeria.com.ng/category/news/nigerian-football-news/).
<br>
<br>The draw has set up thrilling encounters against Egypt, Morocco, and South Africa teams that will certainly test our squad’s discipline and . But if recent form, including their WAFU B triumph, is anything to go by, the Flying Eagles have every reason to be confident.

<br>Credit must also go to the Katsina State Government for stepping up and supporting the team’s preparations. Good preparation is the bedrock of success, and having a dedicated camp environment will allow these young players to focus and sharpen their tactics ahead of the tournament.
<br>
<br>The stakes are high. [Qualification](https://www.footballinnigeria.com.ng/category/news/transfer-news/) for the FIFA U20 World Cup in Chile is within reach, and we believe these players have what it takes to get there. We call on fans across [Nigeria](https://www.footballinnigeria.com.ng/sports-betting/casino-games/aviator-game/) to rally behind the team. With unity, support, and belief, the Flying Eagles can soar yet again and make the nation proud.
