Former Nigeria international, Mutiu Adepoju has tipped the African U-23 Championship-bound Dream Team to pick a ticket for the Rio Olympics.
Speaking with Sports Vanguard at the weekend, Adepoju said that he was sure the team would put behind them their not too impressive showing at the African Games, where they picked a bronze to compensate Nigerians with an Olympic ticket.

“I know Nigerians were disappointed with their not winning the gold medal in Congo. It is however up to them to prove that they are still a force to be reckoned with in Africa. I believe they will emerge tops in their group and qualify for the Olympics,”Adepoju said.
He expressed confidence in the ability of the Samson Siasia led technical crew, adding that they would have learned a lot from their Congo experience.
“The African Games was a good platform for them to identify where the problem of the team lies, particularly in the attack where they create so many chances but failed to convert them. It is important to use chances created. That is the only way a team win matches.”
