NIGERIA'S FULL WORLD CUP 23-MAN SQUAD NAMED
Stephen
Keshi has released the much anticipated full list of
Nigeria's 23-man 2014 FIFA World Cup squad.
The
squad consists of three locally based players and off course some
experienced (old) players in the form of Joseph Yobo, Vincent
Enyeama, and Austin Ejide
Current
top scorers Emenike, Godfrey Oboabona, Victor Moses were also
included and as expected, Chelsea's midfielder John Mikel Obi will
make his debut appearance at the World Cup.
The
return of Odemwingie in the squad signifies that all is well between
the former West Brom striker and Coach Keshi.
The
Super Eagles in their 5th
World Cup appearance have been placed in the not so coveted Group F
which includes Argentina, Iran and Bosnia.
The S-Eagles will be heading to Florida on June 7th to play against USA before heading to Sao Paulo.
