Nigeria’s goalkeeper Maduka Okoye, forward Taiwo Awoniyi, defender Kenneth Omeruo, midfielder Wilfred Ndidi, midfielder Joe Aribo, defender William Troost-Ekong, forward Kelechi Iheanacho, defender Ola Aina, defender Zaidu Sanusi, forward Moses Simon and forward Samuel Chukwueze pose prior to the Group D Africa Cup of Nations 2021 football match between Nigeria and Egypt at Stade Roumde Adjia in Garoua on January 11, 2022.
From the grassroots level, the country has shown success over time. Nigeria is the most successful country at the U-17 level in world football. However, one of the criticisms Nigeria faces is the lack of progression from the grassroots level to the senior team. This is a template that has worked for many nations at the biggest stage; the 2018 French team, the 2014 Argentina team and the 2014 German teams come to mind.
Francis Uzoho, Kelechi Iheanacho and Taiwo Awoniyi were in the squad that won the 2013 FIFA U-17 World Cup in the UAE. Iheanacho was the star of the tournament with six goals and seven assists at the competition, this performance earned him the golden ball award and a move to English giants, Manchester City.
