Nigeria is back in the race for a spot in the round of 16 of the U20 World Cup thanks to their victory on matchday two, defeating Saudi Arabia 3-2.

In their tournament opener, they narrowly lost to Norway by the slimmest of margins.

Now sitting third in Group F, the Flying Eagles will take on Colombia on Sunday, October 5, for their third and final group stage match.

Below are the scenarios that could see Nigeria qualify for the next round.

  • 1st place in Group F: A win against Colombia combined with a slip-up by Norway against Saudi Arabia.
  • 2nd place in Group F: A win against Colombia along with a Norway victory over Saudi Arabia.
  • 1st place in Group F: A loss or draw against Colombia, provided Nigeria finishes among the four best third-placed teams after the group stage.
