Four players from Nigeria’s Golden Eaglets have been named in the WAFU B U-17 Championship Group Stage Best XI as the five-time world champions prepare for high-stakes semi-final clash against eternal rivals Ghana. Their inclusion underlines Nigeria’s dominance in Group B, where Manu Garba’s boys collected four points from two matches. The Eaglets opened their campaign with a commanding 4-1 victory over the Benin Republic before settling for a goalless draw against Burkina Faso. Victory will not only seal a place in the final but also guarantee qualification for the 2026 Africa U-17 Cup of Nations. Last year, the Golden Eaglets missed out on a place at the AFCON and, by extension, the FIFA U-17 World Cup, after failing to reach the final of the regional competition.
