The Nigeria U-23 Eagles will carry the burden of the expectations of over 160 million people to ensure the country comes out tops at the 2016 Rio Olympic Men’s football Tournament.

Samson Siasia’s side qualified for the summer games last year, booking a last four place and subsequently winning the Africa U-23 Cup of Nations and Papillo says he believes the coach will once again live up to his high ratings.
