Fake 18-Man Nigeria U23s List Circulating; Madu Hits Atlanta Camp July 24

Allnigeriasoccer.com has been informed by a Nigeria Football Federation insider that there is a fake list circulating in some media outlets regarding the 18 players nominated to represent the Dream Team at the Olympic Games.

This website can report with certainty that it was a poor guess work by the originator of the article as some players certain to make Samson Siasia’s roster for the competition in Brazil have been omitted.

Meanwhile, AS Trencin fullback Kingsley Madu will fly to Atlanta to join the Nigeria U23s squad immediately after his league game against Senica on July 23, so will be in camp the following day.

The defender was granted permission to return to Nigeria last week to apply for a United States visa by the Slovakian champions, and was issued the American visa after the process was fast tracked by the Nigerian Federation. 

The Dream Team defeated Charleston Battery 1-0 on Sunday in a friendly and will face Honduras in their last warmup before heading to Brazil.
