Head Coach Imama Amapakabo has called to camp, 33 players ahead of next month’s Africa U23 Cup of Nations qualifying fixture between Nigeria and Libya.
Those invited included four goalkeepers, nine defenders, 10 midfielders and 10 forwards for the assignment.
The first leg, to be hosted by Libya in Tunisia (as the Libyans still cannot host international matches in their country) will hold between 20th – 22nd March, with Nigeria able to choose between 25th and 26th March for the return leg.
Already, the Nigeria Football Federation has opted for 25th March for the return leg, with the expectation that the Libya Football Federation will opt for either 20th or 21st March for the first leg.
The invited players resumed camping in Abuja on Wednesday.
Nigeria is the defending champion of the Africa U23 Cup of Nations, having defeated Algeria in the final of the second edition of the championship staged by Senegal in December 2015.
