    The Head Coach of Nigeria’s Super Eagles, Mr. Sunday Oliseh, has named the B squad for the 2016 African Nations Championship (CHAN) in Rwanda. This was disclosed yesterday by the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) in Abuja.

    The Federation, in a statement by its Assistant Director (Communications), Ademola Olajire, said the coach released the team’s final list of 23 players for the championship.

    It said the list has goalkeeper Ikechukwu Ezenwa, defenders Austin Oboroakpo and Chima Akas, 2016 Olympic team midfielders Usman Mohammed and Yaro Bature, and forward Chisom Chikatara, among others.

    “The list also has Enyimba International FC’s winger Ezekiel Bassey, former junior international Ifeanyi Mathew and Sunshine Stars’ trio of Paul Onobi, Prince Aggrey and Tunde Adeniji. Former junior international goalkeeper Femi Thomas, Shooting Stars’ central defender Jamiu Alimi and former Supersand Eagles’ ace Bartholomew Ibenegbu have also been included,’’ the statement said.

    It further said the Eagles B team, alongside technical and backroom staff, left the country on Saturday afternoon for Cape Town in South Africa.

    “There, the squad will stage a 10-day pre-Championship training camp, and play two friendly games against Angola and Cote d’Ivoire, who are also CHAN-bound on January 6 and 11 respectively,” the statement said.

    The Federation said further in the statement that coach Oliseh had arrived in South Africa ahead of the delegation.

    Nigeria’s Super Eagles B Squad had finished third at the third edition of the African Nations Championship held in South Africa in 2014.

    The Eagles will campaign in Group C of this year’s championship alongside 2011 winners Tunisia, Niger Republic and Guinea, with matches to be played at the Stade Regional Nyamirambo, Kigali.
