Olympic Eagles Set for Libya Clash in Tunisia.
U23 training at the Ben Guerdane Stadium, Ben Guerdane ahead of Wednesday’s clash against Libya. Source: NFF TwitterCup holders Nigeria have begun the race towards a successful defence of their Africa U23 title in Tunisia on Wednesday when they take on their Libyan counterparts in a first round, first leg encounter of the qualification series.
Amapakabo will work with a good blend of homeboys and overseas-based professionals. Lobi Stars’ trio of John Lazarus, Ugochukwu Anumudu and Ebube Duru are joined by Enyimba’s Dare Olatunji and Stephen Egbe, and Wikki Tourists’ goalie Adamu Abubakar, amongst others. Victory on Wednesday would pave the way to the final round of qualifiers for the champions, which is due in June.
Nigeria is the only African country to have won gold, silver and bronze medals of the Men’s Olympic Football Tournament. Gold was the harvest at the Centennial Games in Atlanta, USA, and silver came in Beijing, China in 2008.
