The Nigerian Under-17 football team, twice winners of the African Under-17 Football Cup (2001 and 2007), has been following in the footsteps of their senior counterparts, who are triple winners of the Senior CAN (African Cup of Nations). The success of Nigeria on the continent is attributed to a strong presence in the training of young players, with a well-structured youth development program. Players in the senior selection often come through various youth teams, and the country has a rich history of producing talented footballers. The current U-17 team, featuring players like Isaac Success and Kelechi Iheanacho, aims to continue the tradition of success and bring home the trophy from the 2013 edition of the tournament in the United Arab Emirates. The young Nigerian players are known for their formidable technique and determination on the field.
