Nigeria’s Golden Eaglets will fly directly to Algeria on Sunday ahead of the 2023 Africa U-17 Cup of Nations.

The Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) took the decision after plans for a training tour of Germany fell through.

The NFF called off the planned training tour due to logistical challenges and their failure to get a sponsor to bankroll the trip.
