Coach Zubairu emphasised the need to address the team's attacking weaknesses and views the tournament as a vital opportunity to test players ahead of the FIFA U20 World Cup finals in Chile, set for September 27 to October 19.

Coach Zubairu, speaking after the team resumed training, emphasised the need to address some of the weaknesses identified in past competitions, particularly in front of goal.

The WAFU B tournament serves not only as a regional bragging rights contest but also as a valuable warm-up for the Flying Eagles, who will join South Africa, Morocco, and Egypt as Africa's flag bearers at the FIFA U-20 World Cup in Chile from September 27 to October 19.
