Flying Eagles head coach Aliyu Zubairu has vowed to improve his team’s attack ahead of the semi-final clash with South Africa.
The seven-time champions have struggled to score goals at the ongoing 2025 Africa U-20 Cup of Nations in Egypt.
The defence marshalled by captain Daniel Bameyi, has kept three clean sheets in four matches, while goalkeeper Ebenezer Harcourt was a standout performer against Senegal.
The Flying Eagles have scored just three in open play across four games in the competition.

Zubairu admitted it is an area for concern going into the last four encounter.
“We’ve worked on our finishing. We created chances, especially against Kenya and Senegal. We just need that final touch,” he told reporters in Ismailia.
Zubairu also said his team will play with greater freedom and determination against the Amajita.
“We’re now relaxed after securing qualification for the World Cup,” Zubairu added.
“That weight is gone. The players can now focus fully on competing for the trophy.”

This Under 20 team is the must ever worst team in history the coach is also bad coach
I can see u improved. Useless Hausa man.
All these u20 should be banned. Do they have a deadly striker at all?
Ordinary South Africa you can defeat. How do you want to face the likes of Spain, Brazil , Germany??
This team will embarrass Africa at the World Cup. They have no strikers.
Terrible!!!!
Definitely!!! Ghana should go instead. Hope Caf. can listen to us.
