Super Eagles coach Eric Chelle has said he is looking forward to next month’s 4-nation tournament in London, the Unity Cup, which will pitch his team against perennial rivals Ghana.
Eric Chelle said he will use the tournament to test some new players.
“We’re looking forward to taking part in the Unity Cup as it will give us the chance to try out a few new players in different roles, helping us to strengthen our squad before the matches in September and October,” the coach said.
Super Eagles captain William Ekong said the Unity Cup will also prepare the team for the task ahead.
“This is a great tournament for us to reunite and continue strategizing for the upcoming World Cup qualifying games,” he said.
The Super Eagles will open the tournament on Wednesday, May 28, against Ghana at the Gtech Community Stadium, the home ground of Premier League club Brentford.
The winners of this Jollof Derby will do battle with the winners of the match between Jamaica and Trinidad & Tobago.
The coach of Zimbabwe is smarter than the coaches of Nigeria and Benin Republic.
