Manu Garba’s team will not be defending their world
title after bowing to the Baby Menas in Niamey on
Saturday
Nigeria bowed 3-1 to Niger Republic in Saturday’s
second leg, second round U17 Africa Cup of Nations
qualifier.
Having won 1-0 in the first leg, Manu Garba’s boys
needed at least a draw to progress to the third round
of qualifier but they were unable to do their part as
they fell to the Menas.
With this defeat, the Golden Eaglet will not be
qualifying for the 2017 U17 Africa Cup of Nations
billed for Madagascar which serves as qualifiers for
the Fifa U17 World Cup in India.
Nigeria are reigning world champions having won the
2015 edition staged in Chile.
And for the first time in the history, Nigeria will be
missing out of Afcon, U20 Afcon and U17 Afcon.
