Dream Team VI head coach, Samson Siasia has revealed that he would add some foreign based players to the five players drafted from the 2015 African U20 Championship winning squad ahead of the return leg of the 2015 All African Games qualifier against Zambia slated for Ndola on April 11. The Zambians held Nigeria to a goalless draw in Abuja in the first leg and Siasia's side must win the return leg if they hope to qualify for the quadrennial showpiece which serves as the 2016 Olympic football event qualifiers.

Media Officer of the U23 team, Timi Ebikagboro told Goal that Siasia is weighing up his options regarding the foreign professionals to be added to the team as the team becomes more desperate to achieve a favourable result in Ndola in the second leg on April 11.

“You are aware that five members of the Flying Eagles have been called up to beef up the team and they have been told to report at the team’s Febson Hotel camp in Abuja immediately as we intensify preparation for the second leg against Zambia," Ebikagboro told Goal.

"The head coach is also looking at inviting some overseas players so that he will have various options as we cannot afford to toy with the All African Games’ ticket at all.

“Even though we couldn’t beat there in Nigeria we are very confident that we are going to get a decent result that will be sufficient for us to qualify in Ndola."
