Originally, it was determined that Peru would have hosted it between 5 and 27 October 2019, however, it was announced in February 2019 that they would no longer host the tournament, following inspection of the facilities and concern over organizational challenges. A formal announcement on 15 March 2019 ratified the recommendation to move the tournament to Brazil.
With the ratification to name Brazil as host, this will mark for the first time Brazil will host a FIFA youth competition, having previously hosted senior FIFA World Cup twice.

From 16 Year Old Nura Mohammed To 15 Year Old Funom Paul, Three Others – Meet The NPFL Teenagers




There seems to be a change in the way Nigerian clubs operate in terms of the composition of their team as most teams are now slowly toeing the line of including teenagers in their squad.

This season five players under the age of 18 have played for various teams in the Nigeria Professional Football League with recently turned 16 year old El-Kanemi Warriors Nura Mohammed, the most illustrious among them.

Nura has already played for the senior national team of Nigeria as he was a part of the B team that finished as runners-up at the recently concluded Africa Nations Championship ( CHAN) in Morocco.

Funom Paul of newly promoted Yobe Desert Stars is the youngest of them all after making his debut three weeks ago in Owerri in their 1-1 draw against Heartland at the age of 14, although he will be 15 years old in May.

Plucked from Kaduna United, the winger who is still in Secondary school made his debut for the Nigeria National League side last season after finishing as the top scorer, and the Most Valuable Player (MVP) in the inter secondary school competition organised by Kaduna United.

As many as seven first team players went on strike and young Funom who has trained just twice with the first team was drafted into the league squad of the NNL side alongside three other teenagers.
He made his debut against Yobe Stars, the team he now plays for as his pace, dribbling abilities and pin point crosses won the hierarchy of the team, and a deal was reached with his father to enrol him in a school before his transfer to the club was sanctioned.

In Kano, Nazifi Yahaya who was a part of the Nigeria U17 team of 2016 and Ibrahim Alhassan are the popular teenagers in the team. 16 year old Salisu Musa joined them in the first team and marked his debut by creating the second goal scored in their 2-0 win over MFM FC two weeks ago.

MFM FC are also not left out of the among clubs handing teenagers a spot in their team with the duo of Emmanuel Onuh and Lawal Abayomi part of their first team set up even though they are yet to turn 17.

This current trend could means that coach Manu Garba of the Nigeria U17 team will have some experienced teens to pick from when he assembles his next squad following his reappointment as coach of the team.

Note: This thread's title will be modified as soon as the host(s) for the 2019 edition is confirmed and revealed by FIFA.


Now, as promised, I present to you the 2019 Edition of the Nigerian U-17 Golden Eaglets Thread. It promises to be a fine ride as this team is more than likely to be headlined by the combo of Manu Garba's Undoubted coaching, talents-spotting & nurturing skills AND Lateef Omidiji Jnr's bow for Nigeria. Much have been said and reported on and seen of Lateef's undoubted talents and as one eligible to feature in the 2019 Fifa U-17 WC, he is expected to make his choice from among three nations battling for his allegiance. The nations are U.S.A, The Netherlands and of course, Nigeria. Of these three, there are very very very strong indications that he has picked Nigeria same as his sister Sophia (a Super falcons prospect/hopeful).
Lateef Omidiji Jnr is very likely to be the face of this team if all goes according to plan and in combination with the undoubted rare jewels Manu Garba's scouting network shall unravel, I expect this U-17 team to be another true force that will grow into another fine generation of Nigerian footballers with huge potentials for tomorrow.

Let the U-17 party begin.... Come one, come all... welcome...

Humility017:
[b]Golden Eaglets To Hold Domestic & Foreign Training Camp, Screening Starts March 4[/b]Allnigeriasoccer.com understands that the newly appointed coach of Nigeria's U17 National Team Manu Garba has submitted his program to the Nigeria Football Federation ahead of the 2019 Africa U-17 Cup of Nations qualifiers.If the training schedule is approved by the Nigerian Federation, Manu Garba will begin monitoring the Golden Eaglets invitees on Sunday, March 4.The former Gombe United helmsman has already drawn up a list of invitees, the bulk of invited players are the youngsters that he has scouted in the last few months and the Nigeria schoolboys (U15s) that traveled to Morocco for friendlies last August.This means there will be no 'controversial open screening sessions' for now as Garba wants to form a standing team first before inviting new players in future.Just like it is done in some French speaking African countries, Manu Garba and his lieutenants will hold a get-together in Europe for foreign-based players of Nigerian descent and the outstanding players will be drafted into the team.Meanwhile, the Flying Eagles will face either Sierra Leone or Guinea-Bissau in the second round of the 2019 Africa U-20 Cup of Nations qualifiers.The first leg will be played on 11-13 May, while the second leg will take place 18-20 May 2018.Ifeanyi Emmanuel[b]source: ANS [/b]

TheGoodJoe:
Why tag the open screening sessions that has been successful in rare gems for the country controversial? Also, I hope Manu Garba still carries out open sessions later. I believe in that system.

TheSuperNerd:
I concur shaa, we may never know where the next big talent may come from if we limit our eyes to the ones who have been monitored by the coaches for some time.

Manu did say he had been busy scouting some other fine talents and added to the ones from the U-15s, from abroad (like Omidiji Jr) and more, he feels he can start from there for now.... but even if the ones he has found have some potential world beaters, I agree he should still cast his net further to uncover even more rare gems.... we just cannot have enough of them... the more, the better.

First Batch Of Nigeria U17 (Golden Eaglet) Invitees Begin Screening In Abuja

April 11, 2018019

The set of players who will likely be in the next Nigeria U17 team have started training under the watchful eyes of coach of the team Manu Garba, Owngoalnigeria.com can exclusively reveal.

Training commenced today with all of the coaches present and the session took place at the training pitch of the FIFA Goal Project. The players are also camped at the hostel of the the structure where most U17s are usually camped.

Owngoalnigeria.com can exclusively report that the players who are undergoing the screening were picked from the national U15 team drawn from every zone of the country by the Nigeria Football Federation ( NFF) .

They are the first set of players to be assessed by the coaches of the team before the players scouted by the coach and his assistants are invited to slug it out for a spot in the next U17 team of Nigeria.

Their camping is expected to last for two weeks before they will be decamped, and only players who impressed will be called up for the second round of screening which will involve players officially invited by the NFF.
