Nigeria’s U20 men’s national team, the Flying Eagles, have vacated their training camp in Abuja following the indefinite postponement of the 2025 WAFU A and B U20 Championship.
The players and technical crew ended their preparations on Tuesday and officially left the camp on Wednesday.
The development follows official communication from the Ghana Football Association (GFA), hosts of the tournament, informing all 16 participating nations that the competition would no longer be held as scheduled.

The Flying Eagles, one of Africa’s four qualified representatives for the global showpiece, had hoped to use the regional event to evaluate the team and sharpen tactics.
