based Super Eagles players preparing for next month’s invitational
tournament in the United States, on Thursday, defeated the U-20 team,
the Flying Eagles, 2-1, in a friendly match played at the FIFA Goal

The match, which
was the second meeting between both sides in the past seven days, saw
the Super Eagles coming from a goal down to win the match in the second

The Super Eagles

different Premier League clubs, had on Monday, resumed camping for the
highly anticipated Obama Cup taking place next month in the United
States which will see Nigeria competing with seven other teams: Egypt,
Bosnia-Herzegovina, Kenya, Bahrain, Iraq, Poland and Malaysia.

The Flying Eagles, for their part, are preparing for the Africa
Youth Championship scheduled for Libya in March. The team, handled by
John Obuh, will soon commence its second phase of camping which will
include some of the foreign based players expected to fortify the team
ahead of the tournament which serves as the qualifying tournament for
the FIFA U-20 World Cup in Colombia.
