Nigeria’s Deaf Eagles began their title defense at the 13th edition of the West Africa Deaf Football Tournament in emphatic style, securing a 3-0 triumph over Cote d’Ivoire in Abuja.
The encounter at the Moshood Abiola Stadium started as a tight contest, with both sides unable to break the deadlock in the first half. But on resumption, the Deaf Eagles unleashed their firepower, scoring three unanswered goals that underscored their intent to dominate the competition once again.
The Nigerian side, who have appeared in ten finals and lifted the trophy five times, are hungry for a record sixth title and to cement their reputation as the best deaf football team in West Africa.
Though only a modest crowd turned up to witness the game, the Deaf Eagles displayed focus and resilience, making a strong statement in their opening outing.
Elsewhere, Liberia and Togo clashed earlier today in Group B, while Nigeria’s next test comes against Gambia at 4 p.m. in Group A. A victory in that match would not only guarantee them a semi-final spot but also edge them closer to another shot at continental glory.
