The
U15 National Team, Future Eagles on Saturday have broken their training camp in
Sagamu, Ogun State for two-week breaks and will resume in the Federal Capital
Territory, Abuja after the ongoing Ramadan for the final phase of preparations
ahead of the Four-Nation Invitational Tournament in Japan next month.
The
team has been preparing for this year's edition of U16 International Dream Cup
which will hold 12th - 16th June in the city of Sendai in Japan. Nigeria will
compete for honours in the tournament alongside the host country Japan, Romania
and Mexico.

Administrator of U15 National Team, Adewale Adeyinka said "We
have had to break camp in Sagamu for the boys to go on recess and get ready for
the final phase of preparations in Abuja. We will regroup in Abuja after the
Ramadan fasting with 18 players selected from the 30 we had for this first
phase of the preparation. The 18 players will train for five days in Abuja
before departing for Japan on 9th June.”
Head
Coach of Future Eagles, Haruna Ilerika has said he is impressed with the boys
performance in the residential camping in Sagamu.
"The
boys have been impressive and that gives me positive headache of selecting 18
from the group of 30 we had in Sagamu. The level of competition among the boys
is amazing and that is what we require from the boys at this stage of
development. Unfortunately, we can only travel to Japan with 18 players and we
have to select the best among the best," Ilerika said.
The
Future Eagles played two tune-up games against Remo Stars U15 and Ekofootball
Future Stars on Thursday and Friday, drawing 1-1 with Remo Juniors while
spanking Ekofootball Future Stars 4-1.
