Emmanuel Amuneke,Golden Eaglets’ Head Coach, has said that fresh opportunities would be given to new players as the national Under-17 team’s camp opens in Abuja today.

This is ahead of the forthcoming African cadet championship to be hosted in Niger between February 15 and March 1st, 2015.

Amuneke, who breezed into town midweek from Spain, noted that the next two weeks would be used to ascertain the fitness level and condition of older players, adding it was necessary to fortify the team in view of the challenges expected at the tournament.

The Golden Eaglets nearly won the 2013 CAN Under-17 Championship but were beaten 5-4 by Junior Elephants of Cote d’Ivoire after a pulsating 1-1 draw in Marrakech, Morocco.
