Pinnick told the NFF website: “Presently, we are on a roll of good results and we are determined that those must continue.

“It’s been an exciting past few months during which we have won U-17 World Cup, qualified for the U20 Women’s World Cup and reached the group stage of the African series for the 2018 Fifa World Cup.

“The NFF is backing Samson Siasia because he is always keen to succeed. He has brought new, exciting faces to the group and there is confidence all around again. The ticket to the Olympics is non-negotiable.”

 “We won the U20 Cup of Nations in Senegal at the beginning of the year; now, we are back there for the Olympics ticket and the trophy.

“We will achieve both, because Samson Siasia has put together a crack squad and he has the support of the NFF all the way.”
