The head coach of the Golden Eaglets of Nigeria Nduka Ugbade has confirmed that their objective going into the 2023 U17 African Cup of Nations is to win every game.
The Nigerian side is placed in a very tough group alongside Zambia, Morocco and South Africa.
The team currently preparing in Abuja are set to depart for Germany where they will conclude their training before moving to the Algeria venue of the competition.
“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.
The Semi-Finalists in Algeria will qualify to represent the continent at the 2023 U17 FIFA World Cup later in the year.
