Nigeria U-23 coach Samson Siasia has revealed that his Olympic team will feature at next month’s invitational tournament in Korea, which will feature another Rio Olympics qualifier Honduras.
The Dream Team VI have opted out of the Toulon Football Festival also next month because the financially handicapped Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) cannot come up with the 80,000 Euros required for the tournament.
“We hope to now feature at an invitational tournament in Korea at the end of next month. Honduras and hosts Korea will feature in the competition,” Siasia told AfricanFootball.com
Nigeria, historic winners of the 1996 Olympics soccer Gold, are drawn in Group B of the Rio Olympics alongside Sweden, Japan and Colombia.
The Olympics will be played between August 4 and 20.
