Enyimba midfielder Kingsley Sokari is anticipating a very intense
match between Nigeria and Algeria in the final of the 2015 CAF U-23 Cup
of Nations.
Samson Siasia led his team to a 1-0 win against hosts Senegal on
Wednesday to set up a final against the North Africans who themselves
like Nigeria confirmed participation at the 2016 Olympics with a 2-0
defeat of the South African U-23 side.
"The final will be very interesting. Both teams met in the group stages
and it ended 0-0. Now they will both aim to win, that will be like a
war," Sokari said.
"I wish I had made the team but I was eventually dropped before the
team departed. All the same, I give glory to God and wish my friends
there all the best.
"The most important thing is that we qualified for the Olympics."
Senegal will face South Africa in the third-place on Saturday. The top
three teams are guaranteed places at the football tournament of the
2016 Olympics while the losers in the third place final will be involved
in a play-off.
