Unfortunately, there is another report coming from The Nigeria Football Federation (NFF)😔.
The Nigeria🇳🇬 Golden Eaglets won't qualify for U17 AFCON as CAF insisted on 12-team tournament and not 16.
The Confederation of African Football has clarified that next year’s Africa U17 Cup of Nations will still have 12 finalists in attendance, as against the minimum of 16 teams being projected by African football enthusiasts.
This means that despite defeating host nation Ghana in Tuesday’s third-place match of the WAFU B U17 Championship, the Golden Eaglets of Nigeria have not qualified for the finals.
“The final tournament will still have 12 teams,” CAF’s Director of Competitions, Samson Adamu, told thenff.com.
