Nigeria’s U-23 team have been dropped from the National team of the year Category in the CAF Awards.
The Samson Siasia tutored side won Bronze at the Rio 2016 Olympics in a dramatic fashion and had won many praise for their resilience, but the decision by Africa’s Football governing body to drop the team from the category yesterday came as a shock.
Reacting to the news, former Nigeria goal keeper, Dosu Joseph described CAF’s decision as disappointing.
The Nigerian side won Bronze at the Rio 2016 Olympic Games and were initially listed along with DR Congo, Senegal, Uganda and Guinea Bissau in the the category.
In a chat with Sports Radio, Dosu however stated that it was a sad reality fans of the team must accept.
