We played our best to win the tournament, but that is football because our best was not enough,” he said.

The team came to redemption in the third place match when they walloped Tunisia 4-0.
Aaside winning the third place match, the Flying Eagles also bagged the Fair Play award at the competition by the Confederation of African Football (CAF).
The team was adjudged the most disciplined team in the competition and rewarded for their good sportsmanship.
The skipper, Daniel Bamaiyi, received the award on behalf of the team at the closing ceremony on Saturday night.
Flying Eagles defenders, Augustine Njoku and Solomon Agbalaka, made the CAF Best XI of the 2023 U-20 Africa Cup of Nations in Egypt.
