NIGERIA’S TOP WORLD CUP SCORER AHMED MUSA RETIRES AFTER 15 YEARS
Nigeria’s most capped player, Ahmed Musa, retired from the Super Eagles. We look back at his 111 caps and World Cup heroics.
Ahmed Musa, Nigeria's most capped player, has announced his retirement from international soccer.
This decision, coming at age 33, follows a few days after William Troost-Ekong, stand-in captain for the Super Eagles, also ended his international career with the three-time African champions.
Musa's choice was influenced by not being picked for Nigeria’s team for the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations, which starts in Morocco on December 21.
Dear Nigerians, Super Eagles family, after thinking it over, I've decided to retire from international soccer, ending almost 15 years with the Super Eagles, Musa shared in a social media post.
From my first call-up, wearing the green and white meant everything. I was just a kid when it started.
I remember being invited to the U20, the U23, and the Super Eagles at the same time. I was young, still learning, and always on the road, but I never complained.
Whenever Nigeria called, I was there. I never had to think twice about it.
Musa gained fame with Kano Pillars, a top Nigerian team, after playing for Nigeria at the youth level.
He debuted for the senior team on September 5, 2010, at 17, replacing John Obi Mikel in an Africa Cup of Nations qualifier against Madagascar, which Nigeria won 2–0.
Musa scored his first international goal in March 2011 in a friendly match against Kenya.
Soccer took me around the world, but Nigeria was always my home. Playing 111 games for my country is something I really respect,” he added.
Becoming the most capped player in Nigerian soccer history is a big honor. Every time I wore the jersey, I knew the responsibility that came with it.
I gave it my all, good times or bad, because playing for Nigeria was always bigger than me.
Musa played for Nigeria for 15 years, surpassing Vincent Enyeama and Joseph Yobo to become the country’s most capped international player, with 111 appearances.
The former Leicester City and CSKA Moscow forward played a big part in Nigeria’s 2013 Africa Cup of Nations victory and is also Nigeria’s top goalscorer in FIFA World Cup history.
There are moments I’ll never forget. Winning the 2013 AFCON is one. The team showed what it meant to play for Nigeria, he said.
Scoring at the World Cup, against Argentina and Iceland, are memories I’ll always have. Scoring four goals at the World Cup and being Nigeria’s top scorer there is something I’m thankful for.
Being captain of the Super Eagles was another important part of my time. Wearing the armband taught me about responsibility, patience, and putting others first.
It wasn't about being in charge but about helping the team, supporting younger players, and standing up for the team. Even when things were tough, my commitment to Nigeria never changed.
Soccer gave me a career, but Nigeria gave me purpose. To my teammates, coaches, staff, and administrators over the years, thank you for believing in me.
To the fans at home and abroad, in the stadium and watching on TV, your support meant everything. As I leave international soccer, I do so knowing I gave my best.
I know the Super Eagles will keep moving forward. And I know this bond will never break. Once an Eagle, always an Eagle.
CRISTIANO RONALDO PROTESTS AL-HILAL'S BENZEMA DEAL BY SKIPPING AL-NASSR LEAGUE MATCH
Cristiano Ronaldo is fuming. Discover why the Al-Nassr star skipped his last match and is now threatening to leave Saudi Arabia.
Cristiano Ronaldo has been the main attraction in the Saudi Pro League ever since he landed in the Middle East three years ago. Now, for the first time, it looks like he’s actually thinking about leaving. He’s frustrated. He feels the playing field isn’t level, and it’s starting to get to him.
Here’s the deal: Four clubs in the league—Al-Ittihad, Al-Nassr, Al-Hilal, and Al-Ahli—get their backing straight from the state. But Ronaldo sat out Al-Nassr’s match against Al-Riyadh on Monday night. Why? He was protesting. He found out Al-Hilal was about to sign Karim Benzema from Al-Ittihad, and that was the last straw. From Ronaldo’s perspective, Al-Hilal keeps getting more freedom to splash cash than everyone else. They’re the current champions, and Ronaldo still hasn’t managed to win his first Saudi title.
Saudi officials tried to calm him down. According to Diario AS, they reached out and argued that most of Al-Hilal’s extra spending comes from Prince Al-Waleed bin Talal, not the Public Investment Fund (PIF). Al-Hilal just brought in Kader Meite for €30 million, Saimon Bouabre for €23 million, and now Benzema. Al-Nassr, on the other hand, only managed two free transfers this winter. Sure, they spent a lot more in the summer, but that didn’t seem to matter to Ronaldo.
Reports from Portugal, cited by AS, say Ronaldo’s not ruling anything out—not even leaving Saudi Arabia this summer. That’s despite just signing an extension with Al-Nassr until 2027.
And honestly, he has a point. Since he arrived, Al-Hilal have spent €647 million, while Al-Nassr have shelled out €410 million and Al-Ittihad €365 million. These numbers probably don’t include salaries—and let’s face it, nobody’s making more than Ronaldo. He’s supposed to return on Friday when Al-Nassr face Al-Ittihad, but right now, no one really knows if he’ll play or if he’s planning his next move.
N’GOLO KANTE SKIPS TRAINING AS AL-ITTIHAD BLOCK HIS MOVE TO FENERBAHCE OFFICIALLY
N’Golo Kante has gone on strike at Al-Ittihad after a paperwork error blocked his move to Fenerbahce. Can he still sign by Friday?
N’Golo Kanté didn’t show up for Al-Ittihad training on Tuesday, and it’s not hard to see why. He was all set to head to Fenerbahçe, but the deal fell apart at the last minute—apparently because Al-Ittihad messed up some paperwork. Kante was supposed to fly to Istanbul and sign, but thanks to this administrative slip, he’s stuck in limbo. There’s still a shot at reviving the transfer sinceKanté Turkey’s transfer window stays open until Friday, February 6.
Kante was one of the first big European names to jump to the Saudi Pro League, joining Al-Ittihad in 2023 after seven years with Chelsea. He’s been a key player in Jeddah, helping Al-Ittihad win the 2024-25 league title and the King’s Cup.
Then, in the middle of the January window, word got out that Fenerbahce wanted him. The Turkish club were eager to add a World Cup winner to their squad. The plan was to swap Kante for Youssef En-Nesyri, who’d head to Saudi Arabia. Everything seemed set until deadline day, when news broke that an error by Al-Ittihad in the Transfer Matching System stopped the transfer cold.
Fenerbahce didn’t hold back. They blamed Al-Ittihad directly, saying they’d done everything right: agreements with the players, medicals, paperwork, all wrapped up on time. But Al-Ittihad entered something wrong in the system, and that was that. Fenerbahçe even asked for an extension and reached out to FIFA, but nothing moved. In the end, the deal died, and Fenerbahçe put out a statement saying they understood the frustration and would keep working to strengthen the squad.
Meanwhile, Kante’s making his feelings clear. According to Ben Jacobs, he skipped training on Tuesday, still hoping the move to Fenerbahce can happen. Santi Aouna says talks between the clubs aren’t dead yet. L’Equipe is reporting that Kanté doesn’t want to play for Al-Ittihad while he waits for FIFA’s decision. With the Turkish window open until Friday, there’s still a glimmer of hope for Kante, though En-Nesyri’s move is off the table for now.
