Holidaying Norway-based
midfielder, Fengor Ogude, has
been called up to join home
based professionals as the Super
Eagles preparations resumes on
Sunday in Abuja ahead of the
2013 Africa Nations Cup holding
in South Africa.
Coach Stephen Keshi, who
returned to the country from the
United States on Tuesday also
named another 23 Nigeria-based
players that would battle for
shirts ahead of the event that
starts January 19.
And while releasing the names
Keshi insisted that only players
who are in top form would make
his team to South Africa.
Keshi, who is perceived by many
to have a selection problem,
going by the number of players
he has used in the last one year,
declared that there is no such
problem as players will naturally
eliminate themselves based on
form in the course of camping
for the Nations Cup.
He said, “What we want to get is
a good mix of players who can
help us do well at the Nations
Cup. We want to win and I know
we can but names don’t count in
football anymore so anybody
good enough should come and
prove it. Objectivity is the
watchword for the selection of
players and I promise I will stick
to it.
The players are expected in
Abuja on Sunday while training
will effectively start on Monday.
The list of foreign based players
is expected to be released in the
week leading to Christmas, as the
team is expected to travel
December 27 for the final phase
of its camping in Faro, Portugal.
