Flying Eagles Head Coach, Ladan Bosso has appointed Daniel Bamaiyi as the new captain of the team ahead of the game against Junior Chipolopolo of Zambia this evening.  

The YumYum FC defender is expected to lead the charge out  the dugout as the Nigeria U20 men’s team  trade tackles with their Zambian counterparts at the Main Bowl of the Moshood Abiola Stadium in a bid  to put the Flying Eagles in shape ahead of the AFCON U-20 tournament in Egypt.  

Bamaiyi will be assisted by Dakkada FC  midfielder,  Daniel Daga  and Giant Brillars FC  goalkeeper, Chijioke Aniagboso who will serve as  first and second assistants respectively.  

Bamaiyi replace Oluwatosin Adegbiti who led  the Flying Eagles to glory at the U20 Wafu B tournament in Niger Republic. 

Adegbiti has since been ruled out of the AFCON U-20 tournament due to injury he sustained while training with club Enyimba International FC.
