Head Coach of the U23 National Team, Samson Siasia has
selected 20 players for the team's crucial African U-23 Championship qualifier
against Congo in Pointe Noire on Sunday.
Addressing the players after their last practice match
played at the FIFA/NFF Goal Project in Abuja, which the team won 3-0, Coach
Siasia said all the players are good enough to make the trip, but it is
impossible for everyone to be in Congo for the battle.

focus of the team is to go to Congo and do the nation proud.
