Financial crisis hits Siasia’s U-23 Eagles

In from Nifemi Daniel…
These might not be the best ‎times for National U-23 coach, Samson Siasia, as he revealed that lack of funds has affected the team’s preparation ahead of the Olympic Games qualifier match against Congo in July.
The team currently camped in Abuja has been struggling to organise top grade friendly matches.
“The plan was to go to Ghana and play, but then money comes into play,” Siasia said.
“We are still looking for more friendly games, and if you can get one for us (addressing our correspondent), we are ready for it.
“We are not complaining about anything, all we want to do now is to win our games against Congo and qualify for the group stage of the qualifiers.”
