Flying Eagles Coach, Emmanuel Amuneke, is optimistic that his team
will come out victorious in the 2017 African U-20 Cup of Nations
qualifier against Sudan on Sunday. The team will depart the country for
Khartoum today ahead of the encounter.
Looking ahead to a successful outing, Amuneke said his boys were
mentally focused and poised to give all they have to outshine their
opponents away from home, adding that picking the U-20 African
Championship ticket remains his target.
“Based on the performance of the boys in the friendlies, I think
the team have all it takes to excel in Sudan. You should be aware that
this is an away game, which we have to approach with high level of
seriousness, ” he said.
The Flying Eagles, who had their last training session yesterday, will
depart the country by 12.00 p.m. today aboard an Ethiopian Airlines
flight. The match against Sudan was earlier fixed for tomorrow, but has
now been shifted to Sunday by the Sudanese Football Federation. It will
hold by 8.00 p.m.
