Super Eagle : Keshi’s 23-man List For Malawi Clash Gets Official Nod!

The list of 23 players submitted by Super Eagles’ Head Coach, Stephen Keshi, for next week’s 2014 FIFA World Cup qualifying match against Malawi in Calabar has been accepted by the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF).
According to Barrister Chris Green, Chairman of the Technical and Development Committee of the NFF, the football body have accepted the list of 23 players and the listed players will resume camping for the match in Calabar as from Monday.
France-based goalkeeper Vincent Enyeama, who has largely captained the team this year was top on the list, with goalkeeper Austin Ejide; defenders Godfrey Oboabona and Efe Ambrose; midfielders John Mikel Obi, Victor Moses and Ogenyi Onazi; and forwards Emmanuel Emenike, Ahmed Musa and Uche Nwofor.

The Super Eagles need only a draw in the clash at the U. J. Esuene Stadium to progress into the 10-team final elimination round, where two-leg, knock out fixtures will determine Africa’s five flag-bearers at the global showpiece in Brazil next year summer.
The Flames of Malawi, who must win at a venue where the Super Eagles have never lost, to qualify for that final elimination round, are expected to arrive in Nigeria from Accra on Thursday.
