Flying Eagles head Coach, Ladan Bosso has appointed Daniel Bamaiyi as the new captain of the team ahead of the game against Junior Chipolopolo of Zambia this evening.

The YumYum FC defender is expected to lead the charge out the dugout as the Nigeria U20 men’s team trade tackles with their Zambian counterparts at the Main Bowl of the Moshood Abiola Stadium in a bid to put the Flying Eagles in shape ahead of the AFCON U20 tournament in Egypt.
