Nigeria was eliminated from the under-20 AFCON

Following a 1-0 semi-final loss to Gambia, Nigeria's quest to capture an eighth under-20 Africa Cup of Nations championship at the 2023 edition in Egypt is over. When Adama Bojang scored the Gambia's first goal, which ended up being the game's only one, in the seventh minute, the Flying Eagles conceded right away. As a result, Gambia, who has won all of their games without giving up a goal, has advanced to the tournament's final, where they will play Senegal.
