Nigeria's soccer team to resume camping for Rio Olympics

Xinhua, April 6, 2016 Adjust font size:

Nigeria's under-23 national team, or Dream Team VI, will resume camping on Saturday to continue preparation for the 2016 Rio Olympics, an official said on Tuesday.

Scribe of the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) Mohammed Sanusi said arrangements had been concluded for the team to return to camp.

On the country's preparation for the FIFA Women Under-17 World Cup in Jordan later in the year, Sanusi said preparation had reached advanced stage to ensure that the team surpassed its previous record at the tournament.

"We will provide enabling environment and the necessary logistics for them to do well; but the actual technical planning is the responsibility of the coach and of course the technical department," Sanusi said. Endit
