Ahmed Musa, the captain of Nigeria’s Super Eagles, has indicated that the upcoming Africa Cup of Nations in 2021 will be his final appearance for the country.
The 29-year-old former Leicester City player revealed this during the pre-match press conference for Nigeria’s first match against Egypt, and also stated that he will not retire until the 2022 World Cup.
“I didn’t say I will retire from international football after this AFCON, but this will be my last AFCON, and we still have the World Cup that I will go.”
Musa has been a regular for the Super Eagles since his debut in September 2010. This Nations Cup would be his third. Musa was part of the late Stephen Keshi’s team that claimed gold in 2013 and was also part of the team that finished in third place in 2019.
