Flying Eagles will lead one of the three first round groups for the 2025 Under 20 AFCON in Cote d’Ivoire, after being ranked among the top seeds.
The other top seeds are hosts Cote d’Ivoire and defending champions Senegal, which implies that the Flying Eagles will not play any of these teams in the group stage.
The draw will be held in Cairo tomorrow, Thursday.
Pot 2 has Congo, Egypt and Zambia, while Pot 3 houses Ghana, DR Congo, Morocco, Sierra Leone, Kenya, South Africa and Tanzania.
The two best placed teams from the group stage along with two best third-placed finishers will qualify for the quarterfinal.
The 2025 U20 AFCON will be played from April 28 to May 18 with the semifinalists advancing to the U20 World Cup in Chile.
