Nigeria’s Under-23 team coach, Samson Siasia says he is satisfied with the quality of the playing surface at the Adokiye Amiesimaka Stadium were his side will face Congo in the 2016 Olympic qualifier.
The team held their first training on the venue which will host Sunday’s match and Siasia was left impressed with the playing pitch.
The winner of the tie will qualify for the 2015 CAF Under-23 championship in Senegal between November 28 and December 12, 2015.
The Local Organising Committee set up by the Rivers State Government for a successful hosting of the qualifier had assured the Under-23 National Team of total support in their quest to earn a big win against their Congolese counterparts on Sunday.
The Chairman of the LOC, Boma Iyayi, gave this assurance on Monday when he led members of the committee to formally welcome the team to Port Harcourt at the team’s training session at the Adokiye Ameisiamaka Stadium.
Coach Siasia, while responding to the LOC, said that the only way they can make Nigerians happy is to play well and win well on Sunday.
