Following their victory against Uganda, Super Eagles head coach Jose Peseiro has congratulated the Flying Eagles for qualifying for the semi-finals of the 2023 U-20 Nations Cup currently ongoing in Egypt.

The Ladan Bosso-led side secured a hard-fought 1-0 win over the Hippos of Uganda at the Suez Canal Authority Stadium courtesy of an own goal from Ugandan defender Ibrahim Juma.

The victory also means that the Flying Eagles have secured a spot in the 2023 U-20 FIFA World Cup in Indonesia.

Reacting to the victory after the game, the former Sporting Lisbon manager said.

“Congratulations to our Flying Eagles, who have guaranteed a spot in U20 World Cup in May, as well as being through to the semi-finals of the U20 AFCON,” the 62-year-old wrote.

The Flying Eagles will face the winner between South Sudan and the Gambia when they lock horns on Friday, March 3.
