Enyimba FC left back and Flying Eagles captain Ikouwem Udoh heads a list of twenty three players called up by the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) on Thursday ahead of next Tuesday’s GoTV Max challenge between Europa League winners Atletico Madrid and Nigeria’s Super Eagles B side.

Udoh, 18, excelled at his inaugural international competition for the home-based Super Eagles in Morocco when he featured for the side which lost in 2018 CHAN final against Morocco in Casablanca.

Udoh led the national Under-20 team to a 2-2 draw in Bissau last Saturday before heading to central Africa to play for his club Enyimba against CARA Brazzaville in a CAF Confederation Cup game on Wednesday.

He has now been called up for Tuesday’s game which will hold just forty-eight hours after the second leg game of the Under-20 AFCON qualifiers against Guinea Bissau in Calabar on Sunday evening.

Seven foreign based players were also called up for the game billed for the Godswill Akpabio Stadium in Uyo. Former league stars Alhassan Ibrahim and Emem Eduok have a chance to play on a pitch they once excelled on.
