Head coach of the Nigeria Under-17 side, Emmanuel Amuneke, plans to take a second string side to the 4 Nation Invitational Tournament in Suwon, South Korea.
The ex-Nigeria international and one-time Caf Player of the Year has stressed the need for top class matches exposure for Golden Eaglets newcomers ahead of the 2015 Under-17 World Cup in Chile.
New players like defender Ejike Ikwu, midfielder Gavi Opeoluwa and striker Odufeso Babatunde are expected to get Amuneke’s nod for the tournament.
” We have some exciting new players who have shown us some conviction in training but they need exposure and we are grateful for this tournament opportunity in Korea,” Amuneke told thenff.com.
The 4-Nation tournament will be played on a round-robin basis amongst host Korea, Nigeria, Brazil and USA between June 10 and 14.
