Nigeria will not be represented in the Olympic football event at all as the Olympic Eagles team failed in their bid to qualify.
The Nigeria U23 team crashed out of the world's most famous sports event after losing scandalously to Guinea in the reverse fixture.
The team, despite forcing their host to a barren first half, could not hold ground in the second round as Guinea rallied up to 2 nil win at home.
The coach Salisu Yusuf-tutored lads started their campaign on a good note with victory against Tanzania before being held by Equatorial Guinea at home in Abuja.
It was a huge disappointing result for the Olympic Eagles and the soccer loving Nigerians
