U20 World Cup: Flying Eagles leave Mendoza, land in Buenos Aires for Brazil game

Nigeria's Flying Eagles have arrived in the Buenos Aires province of Argentina, having left their base camp in Mendoza upon completion of their first two group matches at the 2023 FIFA U20 World Cup.

Nigeria, drawn in Group D of the competition, have been camped in the city of Mendoza, and played their matches against Dominican Republic and Italy, at the 42,000-seater Estadio Malvinas Argentinas.

With the final round of group matches to run concurrently, Nigeria have now arrived in La Plata, the capital city of the Buenos Aires Province.

On Saturday, they would take on Brazil's U20 side at the 53,000-seater Estadio Unico Diego Armando Maradona, which would serve as the venue for the 2023 final.

Italy who lost 2-0 to the Flying Eagles on Wednesday, will on Saturday, take on the last-placed Dominican Republic in Mendoza, with the hope to make the knockout stages of the competition.

The knockout phases would be made up of the top two teams of each group and the four best third-placed teams.

Should the Flying Eagles succeed to secure a group winner finish by defeating or drawing with Brazil, they would face the best third-placed team from either Group B, E or F.

Runner up finish by virtue of losing to Brazil will see them play the winners of Group E in the round of 16.
