Nigeria’s under-20 men’s team, the Flying Eagles, have been drawn in Group B of the 2025 U20 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON), Afrosport reports.
The Flying Eagles will battle Tunisia, Kenya, and Morocco following a fresh draw conducted by the Confederation of African Football (CAF) on Sunday in Cairo, Egypt.
This follows Ivory Coast’s withdrawal as hosts of the competition, prompting Egypt to step in as the new venue for the tournament.
The Flying Eagles were initially drawn to face Egypt, Morocco, and South Africa, but the seven-time champions will now kick off their campaign against Tunisia on Sunday, 28 April.
Meanwhile, Group A has new hosts Egypt up against South Africa, Sierra Leone, Zambia, and Tanzania.
In Group C, defending champions Senegal are drawn alongside the Central African Republic, DR Congo, and Ghana’s Black Satellites.
