NPFL stars anticipate Super Eagles B call-up

Even though the Nigeria Football Federation has yet to confirm the country’s participation amid the absence of a substantive coach for the Super Eagles B, the players are fancying donning the colours of the country.

“I’m excited by the announcement and the prospect of getting a call-up into the Super Eagles B for the CHAN qualifiers coming up next month,” Remo Stars captain Junior Nduka told PUNCH Sports Extra.

“I will be glad if I make the list to represent our country, and it’s not just about being on the list but to represent the country well with my all.”

Enyimba forward Joseph Atule also said the announcement has fuelled his desire to keep working hard to fulfil his dream of playing for Nigeria.

“The news boots my morale to keep working very hard to be among the players that will be selected for the CHAN Eagles. I’m patiently waiting for the opportunity.”
