Super Eagles Get Abuja FC Test

[Folami David]

The Super Eagles will on Friday morning at the FIFA Goal Project site test their might against Abuja FC in a game being organised to test the readiness of the players for the 'war' against the Elephants of Cote d'Ivoire in Abidjan.
.
Team Coordinator, Emmanuel Atta, says head coach, Stephen Keshi has already approved the game and necessary contacts have been made. FC Abuja are campaigning in the second tier of the Nigerian league and have been described as a very solid side by several coaches.
.
Meanwhile, only 18 players from the 24 presently in camp will make the trip to Abidjan for the return leg of the final round of qualifier of the CHAN championship.
.
Team Secretary, Dayo Enebi Achor, said only 18 players will be dressed for the encounter and it won't be reasonable taking more than that number to Abidjan, as others who have been in camp with the rest of the squad should have gained the much needed experience. Before now, 20 players were primed for the trip.
.
The team continued its build-up at the Astro Turf pitch of the Goal Project in Abuja, with all the 24 players showing enthusiasm about the possibility of making the final cut for the Abidjan trip.
