U-23 Eagles storm Morocco as Siasia selects final 30

In from Nifemi Daniel . . .

Nigeria U-23 Eagles have concluded plans to storm Morocco for camping ahead of the Africa U-23 Cup of Nations starting on 28 November in Senegal.

The team’s head coach, Samson Siasia, is now faced with the problem of selecting the 30 players who will make his list to Morocco where the team will have a final camping before proceeding to Senegal for the tournament.

“I must confess that selecting the 30 players who will be departing the shores of this country for Morocco is giving me and my assistants’ real headache, but this is a positive headache which at the end of the day will enable us select only the best that will fly the nation’s flag with gusto,” Siasia told thenff.com.

Meanwhile, the Dream Team will on Thursday at the National Stadium, Abuja trade tackles with newly promoted NPFL club Niger Tornadoes of Minna. The encounter is expected to kick off at 4pm.

On Saturday morning, the team will engage C.O.D FC of Lagos.
