Siasia Names 20 Players For Suwon Pre-olympics Tournament by robosky02(m): 2:29pm On May 27, 2016
Siasia names Okechukwu, Awoniyi, 18 others for Suwon pre-Olympics tournament

The Nigeria U23 coach has announced his invitations for the Korea championship that is a precursor to Rio 2016 where they will play against Denmark and Honduras


Nigeria U23 coach Samson Siasia has selected 20 players made up of 12 home-based and eight overseas-based professionals for next month’s Suwon Invitational Tournament in South Korea where they will face the hosts, Honduras and Denmark.

The list is dominated by players who featured against the Brazil U23 side in a friendly in two months ago, which Nigeria won 1-0, while two new faces Emiloju Julius and Abdulrahman Taiwo break into the team, and winger Saviour Godwin also makes a return to the team after a long absence.

Addressing the players after the friendly game on Thursday at the practice pitch of the National Stadium, Abuja, Siasia charged those selected for the trip to see it as an honour.

“That you were selected does not mean that those not selected are not good. We simply want to give everyone enough opportunity to justify why they should be part of the team to the Rio Olympics."

To those who were dropped, Siasia told them not to see themselves as not being part of the plans of the technical crew, but a clarion call to work even harder, as the team will be going to the United States of America for its final camping exercise where the best will be selected for the Olympics.

The delegation of 20 players and 10 officials will be led by NFF Executive Committee member and Chairman of the NFF Media and Publicity Committee, Hon. Suleiman Yahaya-Kwande.

The group is expected to depart Nigeria for Korea Republic on Monday, 30th May aboard an Ethiopian Airline flight, and arrive in Seoul on Tuesday.

I trust Siasia, he will deliver. But we will need our best to be selected for the Olympics proper.
The likes of victor moses, mikel, eheanacho, simon, isaac success, Iwobi etc need to be integrated into the team as soon as possible.

I like that Siasia is preparing for the worst in the sense that Arsenal and City may not release Iwobi and Kelechi for the Olympics, but still....it's going to be difficult integrating them with players who have formed a bond with others when you've never given them a game.

Iheanacho and Iwobi have never played an U23 game with actual U23 players and if Siasia has any plans of using them in the Olympics- which he hopefully does, he's going to have to include them at some point BEFORE Rio

Well said Sir Robosky.... after this Suwon pre-olympic tourney Siasia will work with the best from this 20 and add them to the other high profile U-23 talents for the London and/or Atlanta (USA) camps before Rio Olympics.

Right now, I wanna see if the likes of Sadiq Popoola and Nathan Oduwa plus a few others can stake a claim for the team's final stages of camping ahead of Rio.

This is not the final selection. Iheanacho would definitely make the list to the Olympics.
