Ahmed Musa still Super Eagles captain – Ekong

Ahmed Musa is still the captain of the Super Eagles, according to stand-in captain William Ekong.

Ahmed Musa, 31, has not been part of the Super Eagles since the 2023 AFCON in Cote d’Ivoire earlier this year.

This past weekend, he returned to action for former club Kano Pillars in the NPFL after his contract with Turkish club Sivasspor was terminated earlier this year.

“We’re happy he’s back,” Ekong said at today’s media parley in Ikot Ekpene.

“He’s still our captain and he’s welcome back any time.

“He’s our most capped player, a good role model, he’s a good leader.

“I am happy to deputise for him.”

Ahmed Musa himself recently said he has not yet retired from international football.
