Nigeria’s Under-23 Olympic team assistant coach, Fatai Amoo, has said his side are bracing up for the toughest challenge in the All Africa Games (AAG) qualifying race from the Zambian opposite.
The nation’s campaigners will confront the Southern African foes in the AAG final round first fixture clash on Sunday at the Abuja National Stadium.
Amoo said his side have worked on the deficiencies noted in the last game against Gabon in Abuja with the sole aim of achieving a resounding victory against the visitors.
“The clash against Zambia is most likely to be the toughest qualifying match so far when you consider the almost flawless youth development programmes of Southern African states.
“Zambia have shown lot of seriousness in their preparations for this crucial encounter, a clear indication that they want to be in Congo Brazzaville same as ourselves so the encounter is certain to be crunchy and difficult.
“Of course, we’re quite aware that this fixture is the first leg as the second and decisive leg will be played in Lusaka so we know we must win and win convincingly to make the job over there in Lusaka a bit easier.
“The last qualifying match against Gabon though we won 2-0 our performance wasn’t convincing and perfect so we’ve to tighten the loose end to ensure flawless performance against Zambia.
“We want to be in Congo Brazzaville and this clash will serve as an acid test to our preparedness to qualify for the quadrennial multiple sports event.
“We’ll work very hard to meet the expectations of Nigerians as well as the teeming supporters,” said the former Super Eagles assistant coach to supersport.com.
The winners of the two-legged encounter will automatically qualify for the football event of the 2015 All Africa Games in Congo Brazzaville.
