Flying Eagles head coach Ladan Bosso has invited a total of 30 players to camp, from which a final list will be drawn to represent the country at the men’s football event, with Nigeria aiming for gold after winning the silver medal at the last edition of the Games in Rabat, Morocco in 2019.

Bosso led the Flying Eagles to the quarter-finals of last year’s FIFA U-20 World Cup in Argentina, the same stage he steered the team to in Canada in 2007.
