Former Kwara United coach Samson Unuanel has hailed the Flying Eagles’ qualification to the quarter-finals stages of the ongoing 2025 U-20 Africa Cup of Nations.
Recall that Nigeria played out a 2-2 draw against Kenya in Wednesday’s final Group B game in Cairo.
The hard-earned point, coupled with Morocco’s 3-1 win over Tunisia, was enough to see Nigeria finish second in the group with five points, securing their place in the knockout rounds.

“I expected a tough game against Kenya, and I was not surprised with the outcome of the result.
“The most important thing is that the Flying Eagles have qualified for the quarter-finals of the competition, and they should be looking at progressing to the semi-final before thinking of the final.”
