Nigeria Remains Giant of Africa -Alampasu

By Emediong Silver

It's been a dream come true yet again for former U-17 World Cup winning goalkeeper, Dele Alampasu, as he gets another call up to join the Super Eagles of Nigeria for the upcoming friendly matches next month.

It's been three years since Alampasu made an international appearance.

Commenting on the coming friendly games, Alampasu pointed out that the match will serve as a uniting factor for the Super Eagles of Nigeria after series of international fixtures were called off for several months as a results of the coronavirus pandemic.

On the chances of the Super Eagles beating the Elephants and Carthage Eagles next month, Alampasu told the media, "Ivory Coast and Tunsia are strong nations but Nigeria is the giant of Africa so when a strong team and a giant team meet, it will be decided on the field.

"A friendly game is not do or die, you know international football was on hold for a while so we are just trying to come back together again. We are not going there to 'kill each other', it's football. May the best team win."

In the current season, Alampasu has made 9 first-team appearances under his belt for Ventspils.
