Head coach Patrick Bassey has invited 23 players to Nigeria’s U15 boys’ squad, the Future Eagles, for a training camp ahead of this month’s FIFA U15 Youth World Cup and Festival in Baku, Azerbaijan.
The tournament will be held from 22nd–31st October in the Azerbaijani capital.
The selected players are expected at the NFF/FIFA Goal Project Hostel inside the MKO Abiola National Stadium, Abuja, on Tuesday, 13th October 2026.
They have been told to arrive with suitable football boots for artificial turf. The surface will be used for training in both Abuja and Baku, as well as for matches during the World Cup and Festival.
