Flying Eagles' Benjamin Confident Ahead of Morocco Clash: "We're Battle Ready"

As Nigeria’s Flying Eagles gear up for a decisive clash against Morocco in the 2025 Africa U-20 Cup of Nations, forward Precious Benjamin has declared the team is fully prepared and focused on the ultimate prize—qualifying for the FIFA U-20 World Cup.

The highly anticipated Group B match is scheduled for Sunday at 7pm (Nigeria time) at the June 30 Air Defence Stadium in Cairo. Both teams come into the tie with opening victories: Nigeria edged Tunisia 1-0, while Morocco triumphed 3-2 over Kenya.

“We are going to face a difficult opponent, a technical side,” Benjamin told the team’s media officer.
“They also won their first game and will make things difficult for us. For us, qualifying for the World Cup is the main target. We are sure of achieving our objective.”

🔥 What’s at Stake?

A win for either side guarantees a spot in the quarter-finals, making Sunday’s encounter a crucial test of character, tactics, and resilience. With Morocco known for their technical finesse and Nigeria celebrated for physical strength and pace, fans can expect an intense, end-to-end battle.

💬 Opinion: Time for the Flying Eagles to Soar

This is a defining moment for the Flying Eagles. Under Aliyu Zubairu’s guidance, the team has shown composure and discipline. But Morocco presents a real challenge that could expose tactical lapses or underline Nigeria's growth. If Benjamin and his teammates maintain their focus, they can outplay the North Africans and take one step closer to a World Cup ticket.
