    The Flying Eagles of Nigeria face a tough challenge to qualify for the U-20 Africa Cup of Nations semi-finals and the FIFA U-20 World Cup as they are up against Senegal in the continental tournament’s quarter-finals in Egypt.

    The four semi-finalists in Egypt will seal their tickets to the World Cup scheduled for later in the year in Chile.

    The standout clash of the quarter-finals is the one between seven-time champions Nigeria and holders Senegal, billed for Ismailia on Monday.

    The Flying Eagles finished second in Group B unbeaten after a victory over Tunisia and draws with Morocco and Kenya.

    The Flying Eagles’ campaign started brightly with a 1-0 win over Tunisia, but consequent results have raised concerns over their cutting edge.

    Senegal, meanwhile, needed a final-day 2-0 victory over DR Congo to seal qualification as Group C runners-up.

    After a shaky start of drawing with Central African Republic and losing 1-0 to Ghana, Senegal found their form just in time to overcome DR Congo.

    They will now look to draw on the experience of 2023’s title-winning run to overcome Nigeria’s pedigree.

    In other quarter-final clashes, Ghana, one of the tournament’s most consistent sides so far, will face hosts Egypt in Suez.

    The opponents Egypt, however, have had a bumpy ride to the quarter-finals.

    The Young Pharaohs opened with a win against South Africa but were stunned 4-1 by debutants Sierra Leone.

    Despite a 0-0 draw with Zambia and a narrow 1-0 win over Tanzania, they squeezed through as one of the best third-placed teams.

    Morocco remain one of the favourites for the title, having topped Group B unbeaten despite injuries to key players.

    After edging Kenya 3-2 and drawing 0-0 with Nigeria, the Atlas Cubs sealed top spot with a commanding 3-1 win over Tunisia.

    They now face tournament surprise Sierra Leone, whose fairytale run has seen them defeat hosts Egypt 4-1 before narrowly advancing from a tough Group A.

    Completing the quarter-final line-up is South Africa against DR Congo, a tie between two sides that impressed in flashes but struggled with consistency.

    Amajita finished top of Group A despite drawing with Egypt and Zambia and suffering a 1-0 loss to the hosts.
