Nigeria U-20 head coach John Obuh has denied that some of his players at the African Youth Championship are over the age.
.
Reports in Algeria suggested that many teams have players at the tournament over the age. Sebastian Migan the head coach of DR Congo's U20 team upped the ante when he said that his team would have played in the semifinal if some teams had respected the rules after his defeat against Nigeria last Saturday.
.
Obu said :" that is not true , all my players are under twenty and whoever has any information that my players are over the age should prove it".
.
"We have a young team and they can play for many years again without problems "
..
Nigeria will play in third place match next Friday against Mali that lost their semifinal against Ghana last Friday while Nigeria lost their match against Egypt.
Those saying it are just haters of Nigeria. They do not want our Under 20 to progress. I do not believe the story
