Funny enough, he is recognisable. He is the El Kanemi warriors lad who led his side to the Federation Cup title in 2024 under Aliyu Zubairu and also helped them gain promotion to the NPFL (24/25 season) from the 23/24 NNL season. Quite industrious tbh. Featured at the U20 WafuB qualifiers too where he laid on 2-3 assists in 4 games. Assisted Kparobo too for one of the goals in the final vs Ghana.

He is now abroad with Gabala of Azerbaijan. Strange move if u ask me.

And minutes later, I find out he is Shittu Abdullahi Ele from Zamfara state who made it to Man City Academy last year, 2024.

He is one of the lads in this pic below.

She came second.

She had a bad start but it's pretty impressive how she was still able to come second. It would have been an easy win had she got her start right.

That start again being the challenge. Arggghh... So close.

But I am proud of her. World Championship Silver in 12.29secs. Her WR still untouched and the much talked about Masai Russell not smelling the podium is good enough for me. grin

Congrats to Kambundji.

24th FIFA U20 World Cup Finals: Flying Eagles head for 12-day camping in Chile

Nigeria’s U20 boys, Flying Eagles, have departed the country for Chile, as they countenance a 12-day final phase camping in the South American nation ahead of their participation in this year’s FIFA U20 World Cup finals.

Seven-time African champions Nigeria will play all their Group F matches at the Estadio Fiscal in Talca, a city 250 kilometres from the Chilean capital, Santiago. They will first confront Norway on Monday, 29th September, before clashes with Saudi Arabia (2nd October) and Colombia (5th October).

A team of 20 players and 11 officials (midfielder Daniel Daga will join the team in Chile from his base in Norway) departed from the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, Abuja on Sunday evening, aboard a Turkish Airline flight to Istanbul, where the contingent will connect to Santiago – venue of their final phase camping.

The seven-time African champions had training sessions in Abuja for some weeks, before Sunday’s departure.

The 24th FIFA U20 World Cup finals will be played across the cities of Santiago, Rancagua, Valparaiso and Talca. The competition, which started as the FIFA World Youth Tournament, was launched in 1977 and was first hosted by Tunisia.

Nigeria were narrowly edged by Korea Republic after extra time in the semi finals at the last championship hosted by Argentina. The country finished as runners-up in 1989 in Saudi Arabia and in 2005 in The Netherlands.

Group A is headed by hosts Chile, and also has New Zealand, Japan and Egypt, while Group B entertains South Korea, Ukraine, Paraguay and Panama.

Brazil heads Group C that also has Mexico, Morocco and Spain, while Group D includes Italy, Australia, Cuba and multiple winners Argentina. USA, New Caledonia, France and South Africa make up Group E.

Flying Eagles update

According to credible sources, the NFF has finalized arrangements for the Flying Eagles to sharpen their skills and competition-readiness with two friendly games against host nation Chile and Australia, ahead of this year’s FIFA U20 World Cup finals.

Let me add that this lad, Amos Onyejefu Ochoche, was also Awarded Player of the Season at his former side, Sporting Supreme FC in the 23/24 NNL season before he signed for Reims in 2024.

Genuine talent.

Please, let us do our due diligence researching these lads. This was how some pushed the agenda that Uzoho had a child while at the U17 WC in 2013.
