Nigeria's U23 national team has concluded their build up for the 11th African Games qualifier after a 3-0 victory against Kogi United in Abuja on Tuesday.

Goals from Junior Ajayi, Peter Onyekachi and Afolabi Abiodun's own goal ensured the national side wrapped up their preparations on a winning note.

The country's second tier side played out  scoreless draw in the first half but failed to hold on as they conceded three goals in the second period due to loss of composure.
Meanwhile, a 35-man delegation including 19 players, will fly out from the Murtala Muhammed International Airport, Lagos on Wednesday aboard an Ethiopian Airline flight, and arrive in Libreville by noon on Thursday.
The match will be played on the natural turf of Stade Augustin Monedan a Sibang in Libreville, starting from 3.30pm Gabonese time (2.30pm Nigerian time).

 The second leg will take place in Nigeria on March 7, with the winner to face Zambia versus Madagascar fixture winner for a place at the All Africa Games scheduled for Brazzaville from 11th – 21st July, 2015.
