Golden Eaglets Coach, Emmanuel Amuneke
No
fewer than 600 youngsters were screened on Monday at the NFF\FIFA Goal
Project in Abuja as Golden Eaglets began preparation towards Niger 2015
CAN Under-17 Championship.
Coach Emmanuel Amuneke said he was impressed with the impressive turnout since it would bolster competition within the team.
Aside the youngsters who trooped in for
the screening, 33 of the invited 35 players from the squad that secured
the ticket for the continental cadet championship in September took part
in the team’s only session on Monday.
“It is good we are starting right away
and today’s (Monday) session has been very good because it gave us the
opportunity to see some equally young talents,” Amuneke said.
“We
are going to give everybody equal opportunities since we want only the
best and we hope to see more players in the coming days.”
Siji Lagunju, the Chief Technical Officer of the Nigeria Football Federation, monitored the exercise.
