The Niger U-20 Menas brilliantly won the bronze medal during the 9th Francophonie Games which took place recently. This victory is a source of pride for the Nigerien people who see their young football team obtain a great reward.
The meeting pitted the Menas of Niger against the Squirrels of Benin. After an intense match and a one-all score at the end of regulation time, it was during the penalty shootout that Niger was able to make the difference and win. The players showed great determination and remarkable technical mastery to win this medal.
