Newly appointed Captain Ramon Azeez and forwards Stanley Okoro and Kayode Olanrewaju would join national U-20 team mates at the Antalya, Turkey camp Friday morning.
The duo of midfielder Azeez, who replaces dropped skipper Fortune Chukwudi, and Okoro flew to Lagos from Abuja on Thursday evening, while Olanrewaju traveled from Ibadan for the Turkish Air flight scheduled to depart the Murtala Muhammed Airport, Ikeja at 2am on Friday.
“We’re really looking forward to receiving the trio in camp. The spirit is high in camp as the other players look forward to having them around”, said Dr. Emmanuel Ikpeme, NFF’s Deputy General Secretary (Technical), who joined the team in Turkey on Sunday.
