Super Eagles’
captain, Ahmed Musa has charged the U23 National Team, Olympic Eagles, to go
all out and make the nation proud as the team intensified preparations for the
final round of this year’s U23 AFCON qualifiers against Sudan.
Musa made the
call when he showed up at the team’s training session at the FIFA Goal Project
in Abuja on Sunday evening.
The Eagles’ skipper
added that with hard work and dedication, the team can beat Sudan in Omdurman
to stand a bright chance to qualify for the forthcoming U23 AFCON in Egypt.
“I am here to encourage and
pledge my support to you due to the importance of the game ahead of you. I have played for the U23 before making my debut for the Super
Eagles in 2010, and with dedication, hard work and grace of God, today I’m the
Super Eagles captain.
“Nigeria is
blessed with a lot talented footballers. I am the captain of the Super Eagles
not because I am better than most of the players but due to dedication and hard
work. I urge you to go all out and beat Sudan
because the game serves as Olympic qualifiers.”
The Imama
