National Under-15 coach Danladi Nasidi has picked 26 players from the screening programme that ended in Abuja at the weekend.

This group will return for the second phase of screening in May, ahead of the Eight-Nation Adidas Under-15 tournament in Mexico from June 18-24.

About 50 players from top-notch football academies such as Kwara Football Academy, Ilorin and the Abuja-based Fosla Academy, and some players from the Copa Coca-Cola UK Summer Camp of 2011, took part in the screening exercise at the Fifa Technical Centre, National Stadium, Abuja.

The free-scoring Under-15 national team on Thursday dismissed the senior women's team, Super Falcons, 4-1 in a training match at the same venue.

Only 18 players will be selected from the returning group of 26 for the Eight-Nation tournament.

Selected to return are Muraina Sanni, Anas Mohammed, Ajayi Abiodun, Obasi Chigozie, Philip Samson, Hamza Tanimu, Etiboy Akpan, Chidera Eze, Ekene Onwuka, Clement Ogbobe, Njoku Jacob, Sogo Alaofin, Uche Chinedu, Abdul Ahmed, Adewale Makanjuola, Bonaventure Dennis, Awoniyi Taiwo, Udoh Akpan, Lazarus John, Elijah Joseph, Solomon Nsude, Ajetomobi Ojo, Isah Hussaini, Abbas Ibrahim, Mbotidem Okoh and Abubakar Babaji.

Only age? They should confirm their nationality!

The NFF are for once taking the right steps in the right direction. This is very commendable indeed. Thumbs up!

U 15 boys beat Super Falcons? Are you telling me that they have the technicality to beat the Falcons? Have they even played football for up to 8 years? Something is not right here. Maybe they beat U 17 girls.

@ IK and Frisky: David beat Goliath. And a Barca team full of short players put fear in the heart of the whole world for years!! So grow up... The heart and what you can do matters most!!! xxx

Thanks Emeka for your response to IK & Frisky, apart from that, you don't know the strength of the team fielded by super falcons, maybe they are just their fringe players. We shouldn't always rush to judge..
