Former Nigeria international Ifeanyi Udeze believes the Flying Eagles can beat hosts Côte d’Ivoire in the semifinal of the WAFU B U-20 Championship.

The Flying Eagles finished second in Group B after losing 2-0 to Burkina Faso in their final fixture on Sunday.

The team had already clinched qualification ticket into the knockout round after wins against Ghana (4-2) and Togo (3-0).

“They are equal to the task I believe in them,” Udeze said on BRILA FM.

“I’ve watched the current flying Eagles and they are not a bad team and we saw them beat Ghana 4-2 which alone impressed me. But one thing I have observed about the team is that they concede a lot which they must work on.”
