New Flying Eagles head coach, Abdu Maikaba, has said he is honoured with the opportunity to lead the team.

Maikaba was named the new head coach of the seven-time African champions two weeks ago.

The experienced tactician will lead the Flying Eagles at the 2025 WAFU B U-20 Championship in July.

Maikaba said it is a great opportunity to take charge of the team.

The coach wrote on X, “I am deeply honored for this role as Head Coach of the Nigeria U-20 Flying Eagles.

“To lead this team is a massive responsibility and a privilege I do not take lightly. Nigeria’s football history is built on passion, grit, and talent.”

He previously worked as an assistant coach in the Flying Eagles, and Nigeria’s U-17 side, Golden Eaglets.
