FIFA U20 World Cup| Sokari oldest in Flying Eagles squad By David Tamaraebiere May 22, 2015 Flying Eagles midfielder Kingsley Sokari who will clock 20 years on the day the 2015 FIFA U-20 World Cup will kick off in faraway New Zealand is the oldest in the Nigeria squad adjudged to be the youngest by FIFA. The Enyimba star who made the 21- man list that will represent Nigeria at the FIFA tournament boasts of some little experience in the round leather game which is expected to be of great advantage to the Coach Garba Manu handled side. Sokari who has been very impressive in the local scene has also been invited to the Super Eagles camp by Coach Stephen Keshi while Coach Samson Siasia is also eyeing the midfielder to be part of his team to the 2015 All Africa Games in Congo and the Olympic Games qualifiers. Next to Sokari in the team is KAA Gent of Belgium forward, Moses Simon who clocks 20 on July 12. Meanwhile, the youngest in the team is midfielder Ifeanyi Mattew who is a little bit above 18. The Flying Eagles who have spent some days in Germany preparing for the tournament, will face the hurdles of Brazil, Hungary and North Korea in the first round of the tournament billed to kick off on May 30 in New Zealand. 1 Like

joseph1013:This guy should be wary of the ground he is treading... At the other side of stardom is oblivion... At this stage of his career right decisions are sacrosant. My personal submission is simple- europe should always get the nod ahead north africa- they got the best development programmes... He can eventually choose to retire at esperance anyway 1 Like |

The travel plan of the flying eagles is a complete disaster. It takes people days to completely be normal after a long flight like that and the time difference. Why are we traveling to the region so close to the tournament. If they do not play well in the first game. it could be as a result of Jetlag. Personally, it takes me 1 whole week to recover. I hope the players in the flying eagles have shorter recovery times. 1 Like |

tbaba1234: Tbaba dnt worry, their experienced physios would have put that into consideration. After all most other countries are also yet to arrive. Ukrain who are the first to arrived only got their on wednesday. Japan, and S.Korea are jst 1hr behind New Zealand and Nigerian U17 teams of the past went their and won titles. The boys should b used to travelling by now and jet lag shouldnt be an issue. The longest i have travelled is 11hrs to another time zone and it took me 2-3days to get over the jetlag.So no cause for alarm as their is no disaster in the travel plan as you call it. 1 Like |

[b][size=14pt]Senegal U-20 team denied Austrian visas[/size] The Senegal football federation announced on Friday that the under-20 team have been denied entry visas to Austria, where the group had scheduled a preparatory tour ahead of the Under-20 Fifa World Cup in New Zealand. The body said 21 players and the technical staff were due to fly to Austria on Friday but failed to obtain visas. Coach Joseph Koto, who published his final roster for the tournament on Thursday, claims the decision of the Austrian embassy could affect the team’s plans for the competition, but insists they will draw up a new programme to enable the junior Teranga Lions to prepare adequately for the World Cup which kicks off on May 30. Senegal are in Group C with Portugal, Colombia and Qatar to be based in the city of Hamilton. Senegal finished as finalists of the 2015 African Youth Championship which they hosted in March, which was won by Nigeria. Nigeria, Ghana and Mali are the other nations to represent Africa at the Under-20 World Cup. [/b] 1 Like |

[b][size=14pt]Flying Eagles to start v Brazil[/size] Nigeria’s Flying Eagles now know who they are to face at the 2015 Fifa U20 World Cup starting in New Zealand on May 29 after the football governing body released the official team lists on Thursday. The Garba Manu-tutored lads are in Group E of the biennial tournament and are grouped alongside South American heavyweights Brazil, Hungary and North Korea. Nigeria will start their campaign against the Selecao of Brazil on June 1 looking to replicate the heroics of the all- conquering under-17 side that won the Fifa Under-17 World Cup in the UAE two years ago. Just like the coach, the majority of the current squad members have been promoted from the under-17s to the under-20s and it is expected this continuity will work in the team's favour. The Flying Eagles are African champions at under-20 level after edging out the Young Teranga Lions of Senegal in the final game of the Africa Youth Championship in Senegal in March. Nigeria’s first game will be against Brazil who have included the trio of Andreas Perreira of Manchester United, Jean Carlos of Real Madrid and Alef of French side Olympique Marseille in their team. New coach Rogerio Micale will hope the trio can inspire his side to win the trophy, ably supported by the talented cast of Kenedy from Fluminense and centre back Danilo who plays for Portuguese side Sporting Braga. Brazil won’t be the only threat in the tournament as Argentina, winners in 2005 have always done well at this level as Argentina are also favourites for the title. Coached by Humberto Grondona, the junior Albiceleste are one of the powerhouses from South America and have Atletico Madrid’s Angel Correa and Barcelona B attacker Maximiliano Rolon in their ranks. Other players to watch our for include Colombia’s Alexis Zapata from Udinese in the Italian Serie A, Andre Silva of Portugal, Serbia’s Milos Veljkovic who is with Tottenham in England and Uruguay’s Diego Poyet, who is the son of former Sunderland coach Gus Poyet. Nigeria’s Group E opponents Hungary also have a good squad to count on with the Atlanta Bergamo of Italy duo David Forgacs and Akos Kecskes the stand-out players in the team. North Korea, whom Nigeria will face on June 4 at the Stadium Taranaki are relatively unknown but have been together for the past two years under the tutelage of coach An Ye Gun. They will look to upset the apple cart in Group E as they face more illustrious opponents in Nigeria, Brazil and Hungary. Nigeria’s fixtures: June 1: Nigeria v Brazil (Stadium Taranaki, New Plymouth) June 4: Nigeria v Korea DPR (Stadium Taranaki, New Plymouth) June 7: Hungary v Nigeria (Stadium Taranaki, New Plymouth) [/b] 1 Like |

Awoniyi is definitely gonna be a hit at the Tournament. He's gonna lighten up New Zealand with "brilliant" goals. He gets pace and stamina, and I would be glad if he's flanked by the speedster - Simon Moses and Issac Success probably in the 2nd game; then to be supported by Nacho.

I hope the agreement is not long term, if not the young man is in on a long legal battle. Any way, Esperance top men should forward the document to his manager, if not the manager should get lawyer conversant with football related matters to sort this out.
