Dream Team VI head coach, Samson Siasia, has  selected Arsenal's Alex Iwobi, Enyimba international player, Kingsley Sokari and 19 others for the first leg of their All African Games qualifying tie against Gabon on Saturday.

The Sia-one led  U23 team defeated Kogi United 3-0 in their final preparations for the 11th African Games qualifier in Abuja on Tuesday.

Goals from Junior Ajayi, Peter Onyekachi and Afolabi Abiodun's own goal ensured the national side wrapped up their preparations on a winning note.

The former national U-20 coach excluded Gero Abdullahi and Aminu Umar from the team list released on Tuesday.

The team's media officer said that Timi Ebikagboro, Umar and Warri Wolves’ striker Freedom Omofonma were excluded because they arrived the camp late from their respective base. 

Omofonma returned late with Caf Confederation Cup hopeful, Warri Wolves from their trip to Burkina Faso.
The Dream Team VI made up of 16 home and 5 foreign based professional players are expected to depart the Muritala Mohammed International Airport, Lagos on Wednesday evening for Gabon via Ethiopia Airlines.
