Nwosu slams NFF after Nigeria U23 miss out on Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games ticket

Henry Nwosu has slammed the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) after the Olympic Eagles failed to reach the semi-final of the 2019 Africa U23 Cup of Nations in Egypt.

Imama Amapakabo’s men were held to a draw by South Africa in their final Group B game at Al Salam Stadium on Friday.

Having lost their opening game in the competition to Ivory Coast and won against Zambia, the West Africans ended with four points and finished third in the group and consequently missed a chance to feature in the 2020 Tokyo Olympic Games.
