The NFF, in a statement released on Monday, said the team
will be accompanied by 11 officials to the South American continent for the
24th edition of the tournament.

Led by coach Aliyu Zubairu, the team departed the shores of
Nigeria on Sunday night for a 12-day camping before the competition begins.

Nigeria will face Norway, Saudi Arabia, and Colombia in
group F.

The team, which includes ten foreign-based players, is
headlined by Ebenezer Harcourt, the 15-year-old goalkeeper who became the
youngest player to make his Super Eagles debut in August with a home-based team
at CHAN 2024.

The Sporting Lagos goalkeeper is joined by a host of NPFL
players, including Daniel Bameyi of Bayelsa United, Remo Stars’ Akinyele
Olamide, and Auwal Ibrahim of Kwara United. Three players from different
academies also joined the travelling party.

The Flying Eagles, seven-time African champions, have
finished runners-up twice in the global tournament, the most recently in 2005
when Nigeria lost to a Lionel Messi-inspired Argentina in the final.

The U20 World Cup will be played from September 27 to
October 19.
