This website can confirm that FC Barcelona Escola Varsovia Football Academy wonderkid Kelechukwu Ebenezer Ibe-Torti, Go Ahead Eagles striker Lateef Omidiji and a Canadian-based player are among the players at the get-together in Abuja.
Bournemouth U16 goalkeeper Joseph Oluwabusola, who was a member of the Golden Eaglets squad at the 2019 Africa U17 Cup of Nations zonal qualifiers, has not yet reported for international duty.
The reason given for Oluwabusola's absence is that he has remained in England due to school commitments.
Over four hundred players attended the open screening exercise on Thursday, February 14 and at the end of the day, only 100 got selected.
Five-time world champions, Nigeria will do battle with hosts Tanzania, Angola and Uganda in Group A of the U17 AFCON.
