The Golden Eaglets will be up against several overseas stars on parade for Hungary and Australia in the first round of the U17 World Cup in Brazil.
The Eaglets begin their World Cup campaign on October 26 against Hungary, who have as many as seven players who are not based in their own country.
These Hungary overseas stars include goalkeeper Krisztian Hegyi, who is on the books of West Ham in England, defender Botond Balogh from Parma and Red Bull Salzburg midfielder Samuel Major.
The others are Andras Nemeth (Genk/Belgium), Mark Kosznovszky (Parma/Italy), Rajmund Molnar (Benfica/Portugal) and Csaba Mester (Austria Vienna).
The Eaglets Group B foes Australia have three players who already do not play their football in their home country.
They are Tristan Shane Hammond (Striker/Sporting Lisbon/Portugal), Noah Vinko Botic (Striker/Hoffenheim/Germany) and Caleb Watts (Midfielder/Southampton/England).
Nigeria’s third group foes Ecuador have all their players based at home.
