Face the Royal U15 boys on a two-match tour of Kenitra

By Rasheed Adewuyi

Nigeria’s U15 boys, nicknamed Future Eagles, are in Morocco for a two-match tour of that country with the Morocco U15 team in the city of Kenitra.

Kenitra is two-and-a-half hours by road from Casablanca, Morocco’s industrial and economic capital.

Coach Patrick Bassey and assistants Hussein Lawal and Augustine Iyamu are in Morocco with 21 future stars eager to take their first steps in international football. The delegation is led by former Nigerian winger and captain Dr. Felix Owolabi, MON.

The first encounter between the two countries will be held in Kenitra on Friday night starting at 10 pm Morocco time (11 pm Nigeria time), hours after the Super Eagles and the Black Stars would have ended their potentially explosive encounter at the Grand Stade de Marrakech.

The Future Eagles’ tour has been arranged by the Nigeria Football Federation in accordance with the Ibrahim Gusau-led administration’s vision of developing football from the grassroots and actively providing avenues for young talents to fulfill their potential and realize their dreams.
