Emmanuel Amuneke has said that the current Dream Team, can emulate the success of the 1996 squad, by winning gold in men’s football at this year’s Olympic Games.
Nigeria made history 20 years ago in Atlanta, USA, when they became the first African country to win Olympic football gold medal
Led by Jo Bonfrere, the team beat the likes of Argentina and Brazil, to rule the world.
Amuneke is backing the Dream Team VI led by Samson Siasia, to replicate the feat and bring home the trophy.
“There is nothing to say Nigeria cannot repeat the feat of 1996.
“It was a beautiful thing that we laid the foundation and others have followed our path, and I think our current team can repeat that success,” he told FIFA.com.
