Nigeria’s loss against Guinea prevents it from making the 2024 Olympics

Guinea defeated Nigeria’s U-23 Eagles 2-0 in the last qualifying match for this year’s U-23 Africa Cup of Nations in Morocco.

Algassime Bah and Alseny Soumah’s second-half goals at Rabat, Morocco, guaranteed qualification.

After their 0-0 stalemate in the first leg in Abuja, Guinea secured their berth on Tuesday.

The Eagles will not compete at the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris as a result of this outcome.

The team’s failure to go past the group stage of the U-23 AFCON resulted in them also missing out on qualifying for the Tokyo 2020 Olympics.

Morocco will host the 2023 U-23 AFCON from June 24 to July 8, 2023.

The top three teams in the competition will advance to the men’s football competition at the 2024 Summer Olympics.

For the last Olympic spot, the fourth-placed team will compete in the Asian Football Confederations (CAF) playoffs.
