Iwobi

Ace midfielder Alexander Iwobi has expressed immense gratitude to Nigeria and Nigerians at home and in the diaspora for the show of love and support in his international journey with the Super Eagles, as he looks forward to his 100th cap for Nigeria when the Eagles take on Portugal in Leiria on Wednesday.

“I am proud to be where I am today, proud to wear the green and white. I am grateful to everyone, including the coach who called me up to the team for the first time. I have no regrets choosing Nigeria.”

The quiet playmaker made his debut for Nigeria in a friendly match against DR Congo in Visé, Belgium on 8th October 2015. It is 128 months after, and he is making his 100th appearance in another friendly match, also in Europe.
