Nigeria’s Flying Eagles are poised for a crucial clash against Senegal in their final Group B encounter at the 13th African Games, aiming to secure a spot in the semi-finals.
Ladan Bosso’s side currently holds second place in the group with three points from two games. After a disappointing start with a 2-1 loss to Uganda’s Hippos, the West Africans bounced back with a hard-fought 1-0 victory against South Sudan.
A draw against Senegal would be sufficient for them to advance to the last four. The Flying Eagles aim to replicate their performance from the previous edition, where they finished as runners-up.
Despite Nigeria’s rich football history, the last gold medal in the men’s football event dates back to 1973, providing extra motivation for the team to succeed in this tournament.
