Super Eagles coach Eric Chelle is ramping up efforts to discover fresh talent within the Nigeria Premier Football League as part of a broader plan to strengthen the Nigeria national football team.
The head coach is set to embark on a nationwide scouting tour, attending league matches to personally assess players who can fit into his long-term vision for the team.
Chelle’s renewed domestic focus comes ahead of the Unity Cup in London, where several home-based players are expected to get opportunities to impress.
The tournament will act as a key evaluation platform, allowing the coaching crew to test emerging talents against international opposition.
The tournament will kick off with two exciting semi-finals, with Nigeria facing Zimbabwe in the opening semi-final on May 26.
The second semi-final on May 27 will see Jamaica take on India.
