Heartland's exciting youngster Stanley Okoro is top of a list of 21 players picked by Nigeria coach John Obuh for the FIFA Under-17 World Cup, which kicks off on October 24 at the Abuja National Stadium.
Okoro has been in superb form for Heartland in this year's CAF Champions League and he has also been among the goals as the country's schoolboy team prepared in Qatar for the Under-17 World Cup.
Nigeria will therefore be counting on him for goals and inspiration as the Golden Eaglets defend on home soil the World Cup they won in Korea two years ago.
However, Okoro's Heartland team-mate, Orji Kalu, a left full-back, did not make the final party.
Coach Obuh has picked several other promising strikers for the tournament including Terry Envoh, who is on loan from FC Sports Jos to Mighty Jets; Olanrewaju Kayode, who is with the Red Bull Academy in Ghana, and Omoh Ojabu, who shone during the training tour of Qatar.
The Full Squad:
Goalkeepers: Danjuma Paul, Amos Izuchukwu, John Felagha
Defenders: Aigbe Oliha, Mohammed Aliyu, Fortune Chukwudi, Kenneth Omeruo, Chukwujike Mgbam
Midfielders: Ogenyi Onazi, White George Agwuocha, Abduljelil Ajagun, Obinna Okoro, Deji Joel, Ramon Azeez
