Flying Eagles goalkeeper, Chijoke Anigboso reckoned the Flying Eagles must be at their best to beat the Hippos of Uganda.
Both teams will meet in a quarter-final game at the 2023 Africa U-20 Cup of Nations on Thursday (today).
The Flying Eagles have recovered from the setback of losing their first game to get to this stage of the competition.
Ladan Bosso’s side worked hard to beat hosts Egypt and Mozambique to avoid early exit from Egypt 2023.
Anigboso challenged his teammates to put in more fight against the Ugandans.
The Giant Brillars FC custodian also insisted they can’t afford to miss out on a World Cup place.
“We will continue from where we stopped improving our game but we’re happy to get to this stage.
“We need to work so much harder than how we started like my coach said losing this match is like not even qualifying at all so I think we’re prepared with the coaches and by god grace we will go through,” Anigboso was quoted by CAFonline.
