Having won the Gothia Cup with SKF Nigerian Eagles last month in Sweden, Anis Onyekachukwu Onyemaechi has set his target on working hard to make the Golden Eaglets team that will represent Nigeria at the WAFU B U17 tournament next month.

The 15 – year old, SS 2 student of Chrisland High School, Ikeja in Lagos, a product od Unique Soccer Academy, Lagos, has shown flashes of brilliance in some training sessions in the Golden Eaglets, as he continues his quest to convince the coaching crew to make the team.

At the Gothia Cup, Onyemaechi was very exceptional, where he helped SKF Nigerian Eagles to win nine matches enroute the podium finish to become champions of the tournament at the U16 category.

After arriving to Nigeria from Sweden, he continued his goalkeeping exploits with Chrisland School Football Team at the DOA football annual tournament, where his school signed out as champions.

With the qualities Onyemaechi has shown in between the sticks, there is no doubt that the teenage goalkeeper, who has demonstrated strenght of character and strong agility, has a bright future in the beautiful game, if he remains steadfast.
