U-23 Eagles for Morocco tourney

Nigeria Olympic football team will feature in an invitational tournament in Morocco from November 7 before they set out for final training camp in Portugal. The team are expected to depart Nigeria on November 4 for the competition, which is sponsored by electronics company LG. MTNFootball.com reported that the Nigeria Football Federation had yet to decide which team would represent the country at the invitational tournament. Eagles coach Samson Siasia was also keen to lead a home-based team to the competition. Officials said that everything would be done to ensure that the countrys remaining hope for international competition stayed with the U-23 team after the recent failures of the Super Eagles and Super Falcons. "The Dream Team will be given everything to succeed," the official said. "After the tournament in Morocco they will fly out to Faro, Portugal, for the final preparations." Participation in the competition will also afford the team the chance to have a first-hand feel of Morocco, who will stage the final 2012 Olympic qualifiers from November 26.
