The U15 National Team of
Nigeria, known as Future Eagles, will on Wednesday and Thursday play two
international friendly matches against their Moroccan counterparts in Rabat,
Morocco.
Both teams will slug it
out at the National Football Centre, Rabat starting from 4pm on Wednesday, and
again clash at the same venue on Thursday from mid-day.
The U15 squad and their
officials arrived in Rabat on Sunday, and have had three training sessions at
the National Football Centre ahead of the friendly games.
Before flying to Morocco,
the team visited the corporate headquarters of Zenith International Bank, NFF’s
major sponsor on youth football, where they met with the Group Managing
Director/Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Peter Amangbo and members of his
Management team.
The players were selected
from the pool that emerged from the inaugural edition of the NFF/Zenith Bank
Future Eagles Championship held in Ijebu-Ode, Lagos and Abuja in the last
quarter of 2016.
NFF 1st Vice President and
Chairman of the NFF Youth Development Committee, Barrister Seyi Akinwunmi, who
is head of delegation in Morocco, told thenff.com that he is delighted with the
composure and discipline of the players.
“I have been with the boys
for a couple of days and I am happy with their general attitude. I can see
discipline, dedication and humility, and I can also see ambition.
“These matches are just
friendly sessions but I believe the boys will gain tremendously from the
experience.”
