This September, Nigeria U23 national team also known as "Dream team VI," will be playing Egypt, Ghana, and Senegal U23 in Group B of the men's football event, 2015 All African Games at Brazzaville Congo.
Group B have been labeled by many sports analysts as
'the group of death," but most Nigerian fans are optimistic that their
Dream team will win this one.
Although, the Samson Siasia tutored side would
be fielding less than its full strength team, some of the notable players like
top striker Taiwo Awoniyi, Simon Sokari won't be on duty during the games, due
to club commitment.
However, the tournament would serve as a good
test run for the 2016 Rio Olympics. And nothing short of Gold Medal will be
good enough. See below the match fixtures:
