Africa Youth Cup of nations: a preparatory friendly match between the two giants of the continent!

Before the African Youth Cup of Nations match in Cote d'ivoire this summer 2025, the Nigerian national team will play two friendly matches in February this year. For this reason, coach Aliyu Zubairu has restored thirty players and the Nigeria U-20 national team will face the Egypt U-20 national team in a friendly match on February 25 and 27 this year.

Everyone knows the importance of such matches for the teams participating in the championship by a large percentage, because they give coaches an idea of the ready-made players, and they also give a great incentive for the players to be fully prepared to participate in such big matches that are very important for their teams and national teams.

It is expected that the upcoming tournament in Ivory Coast will witness a great competition between the African national teams, especially between the large national teams that have a long history with this tournament, so it is expected that all participating teams will hold friendly matches, not just the Nigerian national team and the Egyptian national team, with a difference in the playing time of these matches.
