 The coach says he has received numerous calls and messages from players who wish to be included in the squad for the tournament proper despite not featuring in the CAF U-23 Nations Cup which served as qualifiers for the tournament.
The U-23 national team coach revealed he will select players who are willing to bear the cost of travelling to camp, accomodation and add the best legs from the team that won the U-23 Nations Cup in Senegal.
Siasia told thenff.com: “Since we qualified for the football event of the Rio Olympics, a lot of players both at home and abroad have been calling me that they want to play for the country, so myself and my assistants intend to use the first week of camping to see these players who will bear the cost of their trip to the camp and accommodate themselves.

“Any of them selected will now be added to the players who made us proud in Senegal for a full camping. Mind you, no player is yet guaranteed a shirt in the team, as I have always said only the best legs will make it to Rio de Janeiro.
“For now, time is not on our hands and as such, we need to start work in a bid to present a team that will make Nigerians proud in Brazil. For me, after winning silver at the 2008 Olympics in Beijing, my next target is to go all out for gold in Rio, and I strongly believe we have the players that can achieve this.”
His also outlined his plans till camp opened later in the year: “For now my plans are to utilize fully all the FIFA windows beginning with the one in March, with the hope of taking players selected to an accessible country in Europe where all the overseas -based players can come with ease, play one or two friendly games and then have them return to their respective clubsides. “
