The Ifeanyi Ubah shot stopper encouraged his teammates to put in a good performance at the tournament so as to earn a call-up to the first team.

Ezenwa also was optimistic about his side's chances at the competition “We are going to take each game as it comes; we have had very good preparation so far and the unity in the team is awesome and with that, I am confident of a better outing than the last time in Rwanda.”

The home-based Eagles have been grouped with last editions host Rwanda, Equatorial Guinea and 2014 champions Libya.

The team will hope to navigate a difficult group stage as they hope to win the continental trophy for the first team.
