The Flying Eagles are set to leave for Johannesburg from Lagos on Wednesday for the final round qualifier of the 2013 Africa Youth Championship. The game will actually be played on Friday at 7:30 (6:30 Nigerian time) in Nelspruit which is quite close to Johannesburg. From all indications, it seems the same U20 squad that played against Tanzania will be going up against the South Africans this Friday with the exception of Kano Pillars Shehu Abdullahi.

On October 13, the return leg of the qualifier will be played in Illorin.

Here’s a list of the Flying Eagles full squad:
Goalkeepers: Samuel Okani, Jonah Usman
Defenders: Ikechukwu Okorie, Chizoba Amaefule, Halilu Obadaki, Shehu Abdullahi, Abonima Izegbu, Tope Aluko, Abubakar Hassan
Midfielders: Moses Orkuma, Abduljaleel Ajagun, Ovboka Agboyi, Uche Agbo, Chidi Osuchukwu
Strikers: Alhaji Gero, Yahaya Adamu, Bright Ejike, Umar Aminu
Coach: John Sam Obuh
