🦅 Flying Eagles reach WAFU B U-20 final after dramatic penalty win over Côte d'Ivoire

Nigeria's Flying Eagles have qualified for the final of the 2026 WAFU B U-20 Championship, defeating hosts Côte d'Ivoire 4-3 on penalties after a 2-2 draw following extra time in Yamoussoukro.

Goalkeeper Lawani Clinton was the hero of the shootout, as Aliyu Zubairu's side recovered from an early setback — Côte d'Ivoire took the lead after a bright start — to force extra time and ultimately prevail in the shootout.

The result puts Nigeria one victory away from qualifying for the 2027 U-20 Africa Cup of Nations.
