Report ______________________________________________________________________
Initial fears over preparations of the Under-23 national
squad, Dream Team 4 seem to have eased off a bit, with an assurance
by head coach, Samson Siasia that they are sure to participate in
the Malaysia 8-Nation Tournament.
Erasing widespread doubt that the tournament
will not hold, Siasia confirmed to brilafm.net that flight
tickets have already been bought and departure is billed for today.
“That’s been sorted out. The organisers have
assured us that they have bought our tickets, and we only need to
taker our passports to the embassy on Monday and get our visas.
“I believe we should be able to get the visas.
Everything is settled and we are ready to fly. All that is left now
is for us to pick up our visas on Monday, and we should be off on
the same day,” he acknowledged.
While expressing optimism that the tournament
will help shape his Olympic dream into reality, the former Flying
Eagles handler disclosed that he will pick 20 of the players camped
in Abuja, while seven overseas-based stars will join the squad in
Malaysia.
