Home Eagles Spank AmaTuks In CHAN Friendly

“We have worked hard and hope our efforts are so crowned”, africanFootball.com quoted the Sharks FC defender as saying on his team chances in Rwanda.

Meanwhile, Super Eagles “B” defeated Rising Stars Academy 3-0 in a test game yesterday in Abuja as they continued their preparation for the 2016 CHAN in Rwanda. “All players in camp actively participating”, he said.

The team will play against Angola on January 6, and then against Cote d’ Ivoire on January 11 before moving to Rwanda to start their CHAN campaign. I will advise them to follow the footsteps of the underage teams and work as a team in order to be victorious.

In 2014, the home-based Eagles finished third on their debut appearance of the CHAN in South Africa with Ejike Uzoenyi emerging as the tournament MVP.

“The team spirit is quite high and the quality of training extensive coupled with the quality coaches in the team”.

The Eagles coach Sunday Oliseh arrived in South Africa from Belgium shortly before the players and the assistant coaches took off from Nigeria for the preparatory venue on Saturday.

On Tuesday, Tunde Adeniji’s brace plus Ifeanyi Mustapha’s lone strike helped the team beat University of Pretoria football club in a friendly game on Tuesday.

“However, before thinking of the African title, Nigeria will have to navigate through a group with Tunisia, Niger Republic and Guinea as opponents”.
