Coach Manu Garba has invited 52 players for the first phase of the Golden Eaglets camping programme ahead of the FIFA U17 World Cup finals taking place in Brazil between October 26 and November 17.   Nigeria picked a ticket to the championship after finishing among the top four teams at the Africa U17 Cup of Nations held in Tanzania in April this year.

The invited players were expected to arrive at the Serob Legacy Hotel, Abuja, yesterday.  Manu Garba was head coach of the squad that won Nigeria’s fourth title in the United Arab Emirates in 2013. The Golden Eaglets also triumphed at the 1985, 1993, 2007 and 2015 championships in China, Japan, Korea Republic and Chile, respectively.
