Manu Garba’s side have booked a place in next year’s African Youth
Championship after walking over their South African opponent that were
scared away by Ebola virus.....Hmmmmm....what do you think about the Lesotho team decision?
Nigeria U-20 side have secured a ticket to participate in 2015 African Youth Championship billed to hold in Senegal.
The Flying Eagles walked over Lesotho on Saturday after the south
African side failed to show up due to fear of deadly Ebola virus.
Meanwhile, coach of the Nigeria side Manu Garba has expressed his
disappointment following the late minute pull out of their opponents.
"Congratulations Nigeria on this qualification,” said coach Manu Garba.
"We trained very hard in the last two months for this match and we
would really have been a lot happier had we qualified for the AYC on the
pitch and not in the boardroom.
"It was a bit of a disappointment that Lesotho failed to turn up, but
there was nothing we could have done about that, he concluded.
With this development, Nigeria will now battle with seven other
countries for a place in next year's Fifa U-20 World Cup to be staged in
New Zealand.
