NFF – Golden Eaglets Not Qualified For U-17 AFCON 

The Nigerian Football Federation (NFF) has announced that the Golden Eaglets, Nigeria’s U-17 national football team, did not qualify for the U-17 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON). This development is a significant setback for the team, which has a storied history of success in youth football tournaments.

The Golden Eaglets’ failure to qualify for the tournament means they will miss the opportunity to compete on the continental stage and possibly secure a place in the U-17 World Cup. This outcome is a disappointment for fans and stakeholders who had high hopes for the team’s performance.

The NFF has expressed its commitment to evaluating the factors that led to the team’s unsuccessful qualification campaign. Efforts will be made to identify areas for improvement and to implement strategies that will enhance the team’s future performances.

Despite this setback, the Golden Eaglets’ legacy as one of the most successful youth teams in international football remains intact. The NFF is determined to rebuild and prepare the team for upcoming challenges, with the aim of returning to their winning ways in future tournaments.
