As part of the Flying Eagle final build -up to the World Youth
Championship in New Zealand in June, the junior national
team is expected to depart for the training tour of Germany
on May 29th, even as the 4 Europe -based players were
expected to join the team at their camp site.
According to the team’s programme, they will play a friendly
game against Abuja Football Academy inside the main bowl
of the Abuja National stadium on Friday.
The team made of the provisional list would travel by
Lufthansa.
It was reliable gathered that the foreign- based quartet of
Kelechi Iheanacho, Moses Simeon, Isaac Success and
Wilfred Ndidi will team up with the rest of the team in
Germany due to their proximity to the camp site.
It was also feared that since their clubs may not release
them early, it is better if they join the team few days to their
departure for the competition.
Nigeria is grouped with Brazil, Korea and Hungary at the
world Youth Championship in New Zealand.
The team is going to the competition as African champions
after winning the just concluded African championship held
in Senegal.
