Akwa United Goalkeeper Aloysius Earns Flying Eagles Invitation as Maikaba Invites 35 Players to Camp for WAFU B U20 Championship
Akwa United goalkeeper Uchechukwu Aloysius has been invited to the Flying Eagles camp ahead of the WAFU B U20 Championship scheduled to hold in Cote d’Ivoire in July.
The invitation came after an impressive season for the young goalkeeper with Akwa United in the Nigeria National League (NNL). Aloysius played a key role for the Promise Keepers during the season as the club narrowly missed promotion back to the Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL).
His brilliant performances also earned him several NNL Goalkeeper of the Month awards during the campaign.
Akwa United celebrated the player’s invitation in a social media post, describing it as a deserved reward for his hard work and performances.
“Congratulations to our goalkeeper Aloysius Thankgod on his well-deserved invitation to the Flying Eagles of Nigeria.
“Your outstanding performances have earned you this great opportunity to represent the nation.
“Go and shine,” the club wrote.
Flying Eagles Head Coach Abdu Maikaba invited 35 players to camp as preparations begin for the regional tournament.
The invited players are expected to report to camp in Abuja on Saturday, May 16.
