Nigeria’s Flying Eagles have been drawn into Group A for the 2023 Africa U-20 Cup of Nations scheduled to hold in Egypt.
The Draws see the African giants placed in what could be regarded as the toughest group of the competition with hosts and four-time champions Egypt, 1987 quarterfinalists Mozambique and three-time finalists Senegal.
Nigeria won the tournament on seven occasions: 1983, 1985, 1987, 1989, 2005, 2011, and 2015, finishing as runners-up in 1999, and 2007, and secured a bronze-medal finish in 1995, 2009, and 2013.
Reigning champions Ghana will not get a chance to defend their title after they failed to qualify for the tournament.
The top four teams from Egypt 2023 will qualify for the FIFA U-20 World Cup scheduled to hold in Indonesia later that year.
