Newly appointed Golden Eaglets coach, Manu Garba has disclosed that 51 players have been invited to open training camp in Abuja ahead of next month’s WAFU B U17 AFCON qualifiers in Ghana.

He assured that a good number of these call-ups are eligible, as they have already undergone the mandatory MRI age tests on their own.

The U17 AFCON qualifiers will kick off on May 15 in Ghana.

The Golden Eaglets are the defending champions after they defeated Burkina Faso in the sub-regional final two years ago also in Ghana.
