Maigidansanma speaking in a chat with www.brila.net said the players have given a good fight but unfortunately their efforts wasn’t good enough while stating that the Federation will continue to work well with more youth players and hopefully get a better and stronger U20 team in the nearest future.
” We want to give thanks to almighty God for giving the team a victory but unfortunately the team couldn’t sustain the tempo. We will keep working with our youth players a d hopefully come back better and stronger next time.”
Nigeria recorded a victory  in five matches at the tournament incidentally the win was Nigeria’s first at the U20 world cup.
