Nigeria under 20 world youth championship squad






Europe-based forwards Kelechi Iheanacho and Isaac Success have been picked by Nigeria for the forthcoming U20 World Cup in New Zealand while Dolphins striker Christian Pyagbara will miss out.

Both Iheanacho and Success could not join up with the Flying Eagles in training camp in Nurnberg, Germany, and they will now meet the team in New Zealand.

Thirteen of the players who made the final squad to the African Youth Championship made the final World Cup party.


Pyagbara, who featured at the last U20 World Cup in Turkey two years ago, was the biggest omission to New Zealand. The Dolphins striker has been capped at full international level by Nigeria.

Others who did not make it include Abdullahi Alfa, Abdullahi Ibrahim Alhassan 'Muazam' and Samuel Okon.
