Nigeria U-23 team popularly called the Olympics Eagles has crashed out of the U23 AFCON scheduled for Morroco later this year
The Nigeria team lost the reverse fixture of the final phase of the qualifier on Tuesday to their Guinean counterpart by 2-0 in Rabat, Morocco. The first leg ended goalless in Abuja when the two sides met and Olympic Eagles needed just a score draw to qualify for the Mundial.
With the recent setback, Nigeria will not compete at the CAF U23 AFCON, a tournament designed to serve as a qualifier for the Olympics next year.
This will be the second time in a row that Nigeria will fail to qualify for the football event of the Olympics scheduled for Paris, France in 2024
