Nigeria forward Rafiu Durosinmi has described his maiden Super Eagles invitation as a dream fulfilled, while revealing that fellow Nigerian strikers Victor Osimhen, Paul Onuachu and Akor Adams are among the forwards shaping his development and ambition at the highest level.
The 23-year-old striker was included in Nigeria’s national football team’s squad for the 2026 Unity Cup in London after an impressive season spent between Italian side Pisa SC and Czech giants FC Viktoria Plzeň.
Nigeria will begin their title defence against the Zimbabwe national football team at The Valley on Tuesday, with Durosinmi now preparing for what could be his first senior appearance for the three-time African champions.
For the towering forward, the invitation represents far more than just another career milestone. It is the realisation of a childhood ambition shared by millions of young footballers across Nigeria.
Speaking to the Super Eagles media team ahead of the tournament, Durosinmi admitted the news left both him and his family overwhelmed with excitement.
