Flying Eagles defender, Augustine Njoku says the team is firmly focused on earning maximum points against the Young Pharaohs of Egypt.

The West Africans will be in action for a second time today at the 2023 Africa U-20 Cup of Nations.

The Nigerian boys are bottom of Group A after losing 1-0 to Senegal in their first game in the competition on Sunday.

Facing the host nation will be a tough challenge with the home fans expected to storm the Cairo International Stadium in large numbers.

Njoku, however, stated that he and his teammates are excited to face the Young Pharaohs.

The centre-back further hinted that the team is keen to secure qualification for the next round.

The game will kick-off today at 6pm Nigerian time.
