Head Coach Augustine Eguavoen invited the 30 players to camp as part of preparations to ensure the qualification of the Super Eagles B for next year’s African Nations Championship finals.
The championship is reserved exclusively for footballers, who play with clubs in their country’s domestic Leagues and possess standard contracts. It is scheduled to be held in February 2025 in Kenya, Uganda, and Tanzania.
Elegbeleye reminded the invited players that they are ambassadors of the NPFL and must play at their best to re-establish Nigeria’s place in continental football.
“As the best of the NPFL, you are expected to give a very good account of yourselves, by not only going past the qualifiers but also contesting for the title at the finals,” the NPFL chairman charged the team.
The players are to arrive at the Remo Stars Sports Institute, Ikenne-Remo, Ogun State, tomorrow, where the team will train ahead of the first leg of the qualification fixture against Ghana’s Black Stars B, billed for the Accra Sports Stadium, on December 22. The second leg will take place at the Akwa Ibom Stadium, Uyo, on December 28.
