But what players are set to dazzle?
Players to watch out for in Nigeria's U-20 team
19-year-old Ibrahim Beji Muhammadsignificantly influenced the Flying Eagles' qualification for the U-20 AFCON. The pacy left-footed winger who plays for Cartegena FC in Spain's second division, was critical to Ladan Bosso's side victory in the WAFU B championship, as he scored important goals against Ghana, Burkina Faso, and Benin Republic.
Another talent to keep an eye out for is 16-year-old Daniel Daga. The tireless defensive midfielder who plays in the Nigerian Premier Football League (NPFL) for Dakkada, has a knack for long-range goals.
