Former national team scout Hassan Abdallah has praised the Flying Eagles for their quality but insists that the team needs more physical power to succeed in the upcoming WAFU B U20 AFCON qualifiers in Togo. Abdallah noted that while the team, coached by Aliyu Zubairu, has improved, they will face tough and physical opponents, especially from teams like Burkina Faso.

The Flying Eagles are in Group B of the tournament, where they will face Côte d'Ivoire and Burkina Faso. The competition kicks off on October 17 in Lomé, Togo.

Editorial

The Flying Eagles are well known for their technical abilities, but Hassan Abdallah’s call for more physicality highlights a key challenge they may face in the U20 AFCON qualifiers. West African teams are traditionally known for their physical style of play, and Nigeria’s squad must be ready to match this intensity. Coach Aliyu Zubairu’s tactical intelligence will be crucial in striking the right balance between skill and strength as the team prepares for a tough tournament.

The team has improved tremendously, but they need more power, Abdallah said. In Togo, we will face physical teams, and we need strong players who can mark and retain the ball. There is quality in midfield, but only Daniel Daga has the necessary force there. In attack, Charles Agada will be crucial because he bullies his markers.

It will be interesting to see how the Flying Eagles adapt to these demands, with players like Daniel Daga and Charles Agada expected to lead by example. Nigerian football fans are that with the right adjustments, the team can make a strong push for qualification and further success in African youth football.
