The list of players summoned the Nigerian national team for the next Unity Cup and the friendly game against Russia has been public by the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF).
The Werder Bremen defender, Felix Agu, received a call for the first time to ten teams for both commitments, but with an attached statement that he will only train and will not play for the team.
As we report on May 7. The Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) demands that the FIFA ruling world soccer body be an authorization before being eligible to play for the team.
Despite the fact that he cannot be linked to the German team, since he only played in friendly games with the degree of age for his U21. The NFF insists that they will still need a written authorization from FIFA before playing for super eagles.
A source said that the situation is similar to that of Alex Iwobi before his senior debut for Nigeria, with FIFA sending an authorization despite the fact that he played for England U19 in a friendly game.
AGU is seen by the new coach of the Nigerian team Eric Chelle as someone who can help provide options in the full positions due to their performances in the Bundesliga for Werder Bremen this season.
Tour of the former coach of the Nigerian team Gernot Rohr in 2019, rejected the approach and accepted an invitation to play for Germany U21, and played in two friendly games against Greece and Spain, respectively.
At 25, he has now committed his international future to Nigeria after talking to Chelle, who insisted on including it as part of the team for the next Unity Cup tournament in England, where they will face Ghana on May 28, before taking any of Trinidad and Tobago or Jamaica four days later.
It will also be part of the team for the friendly game against Russia next month, and hope is that its authorization would have arrived before the resumption of games in the World Cup qualifiers.
