Nigeria’s U15 boys have rounded off a tour of the Kingdom of Morocco and are expected back
in the country on Friday morning.
The team coached by Atune Jolomi alongside assistant coaches Tyabo Abubakar and Olowookere
Bankole and goalkeeper trainer Ernest Salolome lost their first game against the Morocco U15
squad 0-1 on Wednesday before pulling a 1-1 draw in the second match on Thursday.
Both matches were played at the National Football Centre, one of the several facilities
available to the Federation Royal Marocaine de Football and situated close to the FRMF
offices in Rabat. The Nigerian squad arrived in Rabat on Sunday.
“I am excited at the positives we have taken away from this tour. Yes, we lost one game and
drew the other, but the important thing is the spirit of the players and the way they
approached the entire tour.
“The NFF has taken a lot of positives from this trip. As for the players, the exposure was
huge for them and they will surely be better players going forward,” NFF 1st Vice President,
Barrister Seyi Akinwunmi, who is also Chairman of the NFF Youth Development Committee and
led the delegation to Morocco.
