Nigeria And the Egyptian Football
Associations have firmed up arrangements for their U-17 National Teams to play a series of international friendlies in Nigeria and Egypt.
NFF’s Director of Competitions, Dr. Mohammed Sanusi said on
Tuesday that the Golden Eaglets of Nigeria, who finished in third place at the WAFU B U-17
Tournament which in Togo
at the weekend, would host the first two matches in Nigeria on May 28th and 30th.
“The two teams will meet again in two more friendly
encounters in Egypt
during July, but we have not set the dates for those matches,” Sanusi said.
The Nigerian side is handled by exinternational, Emmanuel Amuneke. Despite not winning the trophy, they were however confered with the Fairplay Award at the
West African championship in Togo,
with Nigeria's Goalkeeper Amos Benjaming emerging the best in the six-nation contest. Nigeria was the only team that did not lose a
match in regulation time at the competition, failing to reach the final only
after penalty shoot-out in the hands of the
Republic of Benin .
