Head Coach of Nigeria U-20 team, Isah Ladan Bosso, has invited 39 players to the camp of Nigeria’s U-20 team for final preparations for this year’s FIFA U-20 World Cup finals.

Last week, world football-governing body FIFA withdrew the hosting rights from Indonesia and handed it to Argentina who gave assurances that they would be ready to step in with just over a month to the tournament’s kick-off scheduled for May 20 to June 11.

The Flying Eagles finished third at the Africa U-20 Cup of Nations in Egypt last month and are one of four teams that will fly Africa’s flag at the finals, with the others being Senegal, The Gambia and Tunisia.
