Nigeria U20s To Wear Black Armbands On Saturday In Honour Of Ex-Coach Keshi
Published: June 10, 2016
The Flying Eagles will be wearing black armbands when they take on the Young Swallows of Burundi on Saturday afternoon in Calabar, after the death of former Nigeria skipper Stephen Keshi.
As a mark of respect for the former Anderlecht of Belgium central defender, the Nigeria U20s wore black armbands during Wednesday’s scrimmage against UNICEM Rovers.
Stephen Keshi was coach of the Flying Eagles at the 2001 African Youth Championship in Ethiopia but the squad parading the likes of Christian Obodo and Bartholomew Ogbeche could not progress to the knock out rounds of the tournament.
Kelechi Nwakali has vowed that the present team will beat Burundi in the second leg as their parting gift.
