Latest reports say Nigeria’s U-20 squad will begin training
sessions in Nuremberg this afternoon
ahead of the FIFA U-20 World Cup finals.
NFF’s Assistant Director (Technical), Abdulrafiu Yusuf, on Monday says that a pitch has been secured for
the team and the African champions will begin their final preparations for the
showpiece in New Zealand.
“We went out this morning to secure a training pitch for the
team. We are returning to the hotel now and training sessions will kick off
this afternoon,” Yusuf disclosed from Germany.
The Flying Eagles arrived in Germany on Sunday,
to start a three-week final training camp ahead of a tournament. The squad of
26 players will be joined by four overseas-based professionals in a few days,
before a final list of 21 is drawn next week Friday to represent Nigeria at the finals.
The two –time runners-up will play Brazil, North Korea and
Hungary in Group E, with venue at New Plymouth.
