The head coach of the Dream Team has warned his players not to pay anyone with the ambition of making his team.
Nigeria U23 head coach Samson Samson has sounded a note of warning to his players as the selection process continues for the Dream Team VI.
The former Super Eagles forward while addressing the players after Tuesday’s training session said anyone caught trying to pay his way into the team will be dismissed from camp.
"Do not give money to either my assistants or any agent with the hope of making this team. If I find out, the player will be dismissed from camp, Siasia said.
"I did not mandate anybody to collect money on my behalf. Anyone who falls prey to such cheats will be sent out of camp forthwith.
"Money cannot buy you a place in my team. Instead, your talent and discipline will take you to the top of your career.
"As long as you hold the passport of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, you are eligible to play for this country.
"I was spotted and selected through this type of process. I’ll also like to give young ones like you the chance to play for our country. It is your country,” he concluded.
Siasia has been saddled with the responsibility of qualifying the country for the 2016 All African Games and Olympics football event.
