Flying Eagles head coach, Aliyu Zubairu, says his main focus is to build a solid team that can win the title at the 2025 Africa U-20 Cup of Nations.
The nine-time African champions defeated Cote d’Ivoire 2-0 in a friendly in Abidjan on Wednesday.
It was the Flying Eagles first real test since they defeated Ghana in the final of the WAFU B Championship last year.
Reflecting on the win against Cote d’Ivoire, Zubairu said it is important for him to know the level of his team heading into the U-20 AFCON.
The Flying Eagles will take on Cote d’Ivoire in another friendly on Friday.
