“We are excited to name this squad which allows us to look at a wide group of players who have been pushing hard for selection through their performance in the various leagues” says Olatunji Fasimoye; NRFF Technical director.
There are a lot of experienced players within the squad with the likes of Bayo Odumosu-Jones, Scrum half; Sani Halilu and Emmanuel Godwin earning a call up.
