Samson Siasia has revealed that he has decided on the three over-aged players, he will include in the U-23 team for the Olympic Games later this year.
The Dream Team VI are in Group B along with Sweden, Japan and Colombia.
Siasia however insists he will announce the three players at the right time.
“I already have in mind the three over aged players that I intend using at the Games,” Siasia said.
“But I will not disclose their names for now as I think it’s still too early to do so. For me, there is no good or bad draw, for all the teams played qualifiers to get here,” the former Super Eagles coach admitted.
“Besides, the Group B that we are in has two continental champions alongside Nigeria, so I don’t expect it to be a stroll in the park for us, but with quality preparations I am sure we will pick one of the tickets from this group.
“My target in Rio is to pick the gold medal having won the silver medal in Beijing in 2008, so when I get back to Nigeria, I will put heads together with my assistants to work out our preparations for the Games.”
