Goalkeeper Sunday Alampasu will lead 19 other players from the
Golden Eaglets to the Flying Eagles training camp in Abuja.
Alampasu was named best goalkeeper at last year’s FIFA U17
World Cup and was also picked for the country’s squad to the recent
CHAN in South Africa.
Some of the other players invited are Wilfred Ndidi, Abdullahi Alfa,
Akinjide Idowu, Saviour Godwin, Aliyu Abubakar, Chigozie Obasi,
Dennis Okon Nya and Zaraddeen Bello.
They are latest Wednesday to join 35 other players who were picked
from a two-week open trial in Abuja.
The Flying Eagles under coach Manu Garba have been training for
a third week in Abuja ahead of a 2015 African Youth Championship
qualifier against either Kenya or Tanzania in May.
Kenya and Tanzania will do battle next month for the right to face
six-time African Youth Champions Nigeria in May with the overall
winners advancing to the final qualifying round in August.
