Coach Umoh who spoke with sports journalists after watching the final of the training on Saturday noted that with the caliber of coaches and experts brought in by the Consultant of the project, Mr. Paul Bassey to handle the athletes, the sky will be their limit if they remain focused, committed and ready to take their career seriously.

Battle of Dares Salam

The party is definitely over for Super  Eagles Coach, Sunday Oliseh as he begins his quest to leave a legacy with the senior national team with his very first match in charge in this weekend’s crunch encounter for a place in the 2017 Africa Cup of Nations scheduled for Gabon.

It could not have been a better fixture for the former Super Eagles Captain who takes charge with much confidence from his employers the Nigeria Football Federation and the fans as he brings a new perspective of intellect to the game.

The game against The Tafia Stars of Tanzania on Sunday, September 4,2015 in far away Dar es Salam is a must win as we share the same points with group leaders, Egypt but on better goals difference as only one slot will be available for the competition.
