By Ogo Clarkson
The Nigeria U20 Flying Eagles kicked off their preparations for the U20 AFCON in style, defeating Cote d’Ivoire 2-0 in a friendly match at the Stade Félix Houphouët Boigny.
Wonder Kid of the Forster Academy of Abia state, Divine Oliseh stole the show, providing an assist and scoring the second goal with a dazzling one-on-one dribble.

He made an instant impact after coming on in the 41st minute, setting up a penalty kick that Captain Daniel Bameyi converted in the 63rd minute.
The Flying Eagles face a daunting task in the U20 AFCON, drawn in Group B alongside Egypt, South Africa, and Morocco. However, Coach Aliyu Zubairu is confident that his team has what it takes to make Nigeria proud on the international stage.
Coach Zubairu, who led El-Kanemi Warriors to a stunning 2023/24 NPFL title win in the President (Federation Cup) with a team of grassroots players, has promised to replicate that success with the Flying Eagles, showcasing the wealth of talent in Nigeria.
The return leg comes up on Friday at the same venue.
