Ifeanyi Ifeanyi Happy To Be Called Up For Super Eagles Duty

Super Eagles B central midfielder Ifeanyi Ifeanyi says he's humbled to be included in the team for the WAFU Cup tournament.

Ifeanyi Ifeanyi shot into prominence after he helped the country's Under-20 team to clinch Gold at the 2015 African Youth Championship in Senegal.

The Akwa United enforcer was named in the home based Eagles' 18-man squad for the 2017 WAFU Cup in Ghana.

Adibe as he is also known by his fans is is cock-sure to be an important member of the Salisu Yusuf tutored side in the tourney.

"I am very humbled and grateful to God and the coaches for what they have done for me, '' Ifeanyi Ifeanyi told allnigeriasoccer.com.

"Indeed it's a great pleasure to serve my nation. I have been looking forward to playing in the WAFU Cup and I'm happy it's finally here.

"I want to thank everybody who has supported me since my time in the Flying Eagles team and may God richly bless them.''

Nigeria will play Sierra Leone in the first round of the tournament (which is a knock –out), before eight teams will emerge for a group phase competition.

The competition takes place 9th – 24th September 2017.
