Super Eagles coach Samson Siasia has invited 42 players to camp for the crucial back to back Afcon 2017 qualifying tie against Egypt. Siasia, who was named Super Eagles head coach recently, passionately appealed to all Nigerians to rally round the team and show belief as the side host the Egyptians in Kaduna on Friday, March 25, and Alexandria on Tuesday, March 29. The 22 home boys are expected to hit the Abuja camp on Sunday, March 6, before the overseas-based players arrive from Sunday, March 20. “I want to passionately appeal to Nigerians to show belief in the team and give us total support. It will not be easy but if we stick together and present a united force to fight this battle I believe we will triumph. “I have absolute faith in the players. Nigeria is blessed with so many talented footballers across the world and I know that those we are inviting for this match will give everything for the six points in both matches.
