Golden Eaglets coach, Fatai Amoo has called on Nigerians living in Togo and those at home to support his team as they begin their WAFU Cup campaign.
The Eaglets, five-time U-17 world champions, have already landed in Lome, Togo on Tuesday and did a soft workout in preparation for the West African Football Union tournament.
The 37-man Nigerian contingent comprising of officials and players are set to kick off their campaign for regional victory and a ticket for the U-17 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON).
The Golden Eaglets face the Baby Elephants of Cote d’Ivoire in the opener.
Amoo, who was speaking to the media arm of the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) after the team’s training in Lome, said the players are fully ready.

Nigeria’s U17 Boys, Golden Eaglets will fly into Lome on Sunday morning from Lagos, with a squad of 25 players who are expected to pick the ticket from the WAFU tournament to represent the region in this year’s CAF U17 Cup of Nations taking place in Morocco.
Pedigree, pride and career aspiration aside, the Eaglets are sure to derive some kind of vicarious motivation from the below-par outing of the Nigeria U20 Boys at the WAFU B U20 Tournament in Benin Republic last month.
