Ubani & Tijani Top Nigeria Squad For U17 World Cup

By Daily Sports on October 19, 2019

Nigeria have confirmed their squad list for the 2019 Fifa U17 World Cup which starts in Brazil on October 26.

Giant Brilliants forward Wisdom Ubani leads the Golden Eaglets’ frontline after finishing as the team’s top scorer at the U17 Afcon earlier this year with three goals.

Samson Tijani will lead the country’s charge for glory in Brazil as captain while West Ham's Daniel Jinadu and Bournemouth’s Joseph Oluwabusola also made the cut to provide competition for Sunday Stephen between the sticks.

Nigeria missed out on the last edition of the U17 World Cup in India and will be hoping to rule the world again after their last triumph came in Chile 2015.

The Golden Eaglets, who finished fourth at the 2019 Africa U-17 Cup of Nations in Tanzania, have been paired against Hungary, Ecuador and Australia in Group B.

They will begin their quest for a sixth world title against Hungary on October 26, at the Estadio Olimpico in Goiania.
