Azeez's Brace Leads Super Eagles to Unity Cup Final

On Tuesday, the Super Eagles secured a 2-0 victory against Zimbabwe in the semi-final of the 2026 Unity Cup, with debutant Femi Azeez scoring both goals. The match took place in Charlton, London, and marked a significant step for Nigeria as they aim to retain the title they won in 2025.

Azeez, who has had a breakout season in the EFL Championship with 11 goals and seven assists, opened the scoring with a long-range strike in the fifth minute, assisted by Terem Moffi. Moffi, who captained the side, provided the second goal in the 63rd minute.

Goalkeeper Arthur Okonkwo made his senior international debut during the match, as coach Eric Chell assessed new talent ahead of Nigeria's qualification campaign for the 2027 Africa Cup of Nations. Notably absent from the match were Victor Osimhen, Ademola Lookman, and Alex Iwobi.

Nigeria will face either Jamaica or India in the final on May 30.
