I feel like we're in a position where we can control the narrative of this tournament from our perspective, he said on Joy News Prime Sports.The only downside is that we're in a group of five and we would have to play one extra game compared to the other groups but in all I think we're in a good position to manage the situation and the narrative quite well.The tournament is scheduled to commence from April 26 with the final slated for May 18 with 13 teams competing in this year's edition.Thefour semi-finalistswill book their place at theFIFA U-20 World Cup Chile 2025 later this year.
