Former Super Eagles player Taye Taiwo is hoping the Flying Eagles claim the title at the 2025 Africa U-20 Cup of Nations. The Flying Eagles aim to win an eighth title at the upcoming tournament in Egypt. Under the management of Aliyu Zubairu, the team triumphed at the WAFU B U-20 Championship last year in Togo. Taiwo, who was part of the Flying Eagles team that won the U-20 AFCON title in Benin Republic in 2005, urged the team to proudly represent Nigeria. “I want them to have confidence in themselves,” the ex-Olympique Marseille defender told Lasgidi FM. “You need to believe you can reach your goals.” Regardless of whether you play as a striker or a defender, have confidence in your skills. Do not be fearful. Get out there, give it your all, and have fun while playing. “Show pride in representing Nigeria.” Next week Thursday, the Flying Eagles are set to play against Tunisia in their first match.
