Barring a late minute change of plans, four players from the Nigeria B team that secured qualification for the Africa Nations Championship popularly known as CHAN will be a part of the Super Eagles team for the world cup qualifiers, OwnGoalNigeria.com can exclusively reveal.
The team led by coach Daniel Ogunmodede thrashed Ghana 3-1 at the Godswill Akpabio Stadium in Uyo to book a spot at the tournament, which will begin in February 2025 with Kenya, Uganda, and Tanzania as joint host.
Certain players played their way into the plans of the main team of the Super Eagles according to a member of the technical department of the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF). He said their names will be forwarded to whoever gets the nod to lead the Super Eagles when the world cup qualifiers resumes in March.
” Henry Ozoemena who was in goal for both games is surely going to be a part of the team. His spot is locked not just because of his performance in both games generally he has been really good for Enyimba in the league and also in the CAF Confederation Cup”, he told OwnGoalNigeria.com.
“The Enugu Rangers center back Ifeanyi Onyebuchi was really impressive over both games and he will also join the main team when they resume in March. Then there is the Remo Stars midfielder Jide Fatokun who controlled the second leg game really well and Musa Zayyad who was particularly impressive in the first leg. Both of them have a chance of joining the main team in March”, he concluded.
