Flying Eagles head coach, Aliyu Zubairu, has released the final 21-man squad that will represent Nigeria at the 2025 FIFA U-20 World Cup in Chile.

The squad features ten players from the team that impressed at the 2025 Africa U-20 Cup of Nations, with familiar names such as Ebenezer Harcourt, Daniel Bameyi, Odinaka Okoro, and Auwal Ibrahim making the cut.

Zubairu also handed opportunities to new faces, including Daniel Daga and Nasiru Salihu, as the seven-time African champions aim to strengthen their chances on the global stage.

The Flying Eagles departed for Chile on Sunday to intensify their final preparations ahead of the tournament. Nigeria will compete in Group F, where they face Norway, Colombia, and Saudi Arabia in the opening round.
