Oliseh made the declaration via a message he sent through the Eagles Media Officer, Toyin Ibitoye, on Tuesday in Abuja.
Oliseh, who has expressed concern over Nigeria’s low position in the FIFA table, expressed his desire to go for the trophy in order to improve Nigeria’s status and also attract FIFA’s proper attention to the competition.
He said, “The Nigeria Football Federation and the Eagles coach Oliseh are taking CHAN very seriously because it has become an internationally recognised competition, which means that it can affect the FIFA ranking. It is hoped CHAN can be used to improve the Eagles ranking before draws for the 2018 World Cup in June.”
The CHAN tournament is scheduled to take place in Rwanda from January 16 to February 7, 2016.
Oliseh, who is in Belgium, stated that the team would do better than they did at the 2014 edition, when Nigeria left South Africa as the third best team.
No clear date has been announced for the players to begin the final camping but it is expected that they will reassemble in December. The team, made up only of the players from the Nigerian league, defeated their Burkina Faso opponents to qualify for the Rwandan finals. Punch
