By Muzammil Dalha Yola 

Nigeria-born center forward Umar Abubakar, a former product of Footwork Football Academy Abuja, has been invited to the 20-man Flying Eagles camp in preparation for the Afcon U-20 tournament in Egypt. This recognition comes on the back of his impressive performances for Jong KAA Gent in the Belgian First Amateur Division.

Abubakar's eye for goals, good positioning, and scoring ability have made him a standout player in the league. His superb performance has caught the attention of Technical Adviser Aliyu Zubairu, who sees him as a valuable asset to the Flying Eagles.

In the lead-up to the Afcon U-20 tournament, Abubakar has been in sensational form for Jong KAA Gent. Last week, he delivered another standout performance, scoring a brace in a dominant 4-0 victory over Lyra-Lierse. This brings his impressive tally to 19 goals in 25 matches, further cementing his reputation as one of the league's most consistent goal scorers.

As Generatie Gent pushes towards the championship title, Abubakar's contributions remain crucial in their title charge. His goalscoring ability and skills on the field make him a valuable asset to his team.

The Afcon U-20 tournament is a crucial step towards qualifying for the U-20 World Cup, with four semi-finalists set to represent Africa. With Abubakar expected to be in the leading line for the Flying Eagles, fans and pundits alike will be eagerly anticipating his performance on the international stage.

Abubakar's invitation to the Flying Eagles camp is a testament to his hard work and dedication to the sport. As he prepares to represent Nigeria on the international stage, his future in football looks bright.
