Jabir who was speaking on Luv FM’s Sports Avenue disclosed he had been approached by an agent from Europe to play a number of international friendlies with some North African countries who are also about to begin building their Olympic national teams .
“All things being possible later next week we might meet to outline our programme for the year . We also have an agent from Europe who has just contacted me and we are yet to settle down on a few teams that will involve Morocco, Egypt, Libya, and I think Algeria.”He said
Should the friendlies come to fruition, it would be a good starting point for the Meteors to assembly the best of materials to represent the country in future competion Under 23 competition.
