Golden Eaglets Crash Out of WAFU Tournament, Fail To Qualify For 2027 U‑17 AFCON And World Cup

Nigeria’s Golden Eaglets will not feature in the 2027 U‑17 Africa Cup of Nations or the FIFA U‑17 World Cup because they failed to make it out of the group stage at the WAFU‑B U‑17 Championship in Burkina Faso.


Their hopes ended on Saturday October 17, 2026 after a 1–1 draw with Côte d’Ivoire in their final Group B match. Alex Fousseni put the Ivorians ahead in the 16th minute before Abiodun John equalised for Nigeria.
The Eaglets finished bottom of Group B with just one point, having earlier lost 2–1 to Niger Republic in their opening game.
This outcome means the five‑time world champions will miss the U‑17 AFCON for the third straight time and the U‑17 World Cup for the fourth consecutive edition.
Their last appearance at the global tournament was in Brazil in 2019.

This is a reminder of how far the once‑dominant team has fallen. chai!!!!
