Maikaba submits Nigeria U20 player list for WAFU B tournament

Nigeria Under-20 team coach Abdullahi Maikaba has unveiled his list of players who will represent Nigeria in the WAFU B tournament after a month of training in Abuja, OwnGoalNigeria.com reports.

Maikaba finalized his team for the tournament during the week, ending a process that saw more than 100 players lobby to make the team for the tournament in Ivory Coast.

The Nigerian team will leave for the Ivorian city of Abidjan on July 20 in their bid to reach the AFCON U20 through the tournament, which serves as a qualifier.

It will be played between July 26 and August 9 between 8 teams. Nigeria has won the last two editions of the tournament under coach Ladan Bosso and Aliyu Zubairu.

Maikaba will try to match their feat, but the most important thing is to qualify for the AFCON, which is the main objective of the tournament.
