Gent forward, Gift Orban has been rewarded for his impressive form with an invitation to the Olympic Eagles team for the U23 AFCON final qualifying fixture against Guinea, Sportivationng.com reports. 

Orban was named Europa Conference League player of the week for his brilliant hat-trick for Gent against Basaksehir.

The Olympic Eagles trade tackles with their Guinean counterparts in a first leg encounter scheduled for the Moshood Abiola National Stadium, Abuja from 4pm on Wednesday, 22nd March, with the return set for the Complexe Sportif Prince Heritier Moulay Al Hassan from 7pm Morocco time on Tuesday, 28th March.

Guinea does not have any venue approved in the country for international matches.

Yusuf’s list of invitees is headed by team captain Success Makanjuola, whose two converted spot kicks against Tanzania earned the 1996 Olympic gold-medallists passage to this final round.

There are also midfielder Abiodun Ogunniyi and Bello Babatunde, as well as Belgium-based new headline-grabber Gift Emmanuel Orban.

As happened against the Tanzanians in Dar es Salaam and Ibadan in October last year, Makanjuola is expected to lead the charge against the Guineans in Abuja on Wednesday, perhaps alongside Orban, with Babatunde and Ogunniyi (nicknamed Omo-Jesu) pulling the strings from the middle.

The winner on aggregate will qualify for the Africa U23 Cup of Nations scheduled for Morocco later this year, at which Africa’s flag bearers at next year’s Men’s Olympic Football Tournament will emerge.

Guinea’s delegation for the encounter in Abuja is expected to arrive in Nigeria on Saturday evening.

In total, 16 foreign-based players have been called up for the encounter.
