U-23 World Cup: Flying Eagles Must Be At Their Best Lawal

Former Nigeria international, Garba Lawal has urged the Flying Eagles to be at their best if they are to make it to the knockout stages of the 2023 FIFA U-20 World Cup.

The team has been pitted alongside five time champions Brazil, Italy and Dominican Republic in Group D of the 2023 FIFA U-20 World Cup.

Nigeria have finished as runners-up on two occasions, in Saudi Arabia in 1989 and in The Netherlands in 2005.

In a media chat, Lawal called on the Flying Eagles players to be at their best if they are to beat Brazil, Italy and Dominican Republic.

“I have seem some of their games at the U-20 Africa Cup of Nations and I think the Flying Eagles must do better to make an appreciable impact at the 2023 FIFA U-20 World cup. Funny enough, we have found ourselves in a difficult group that consist of Brazil, Italy and Dominican Republic. The Flying Eagles must be at their best if they are to make it out from this group,”he said.
