Blow for Super Eagles: Atubolu Chooses Germany Over Nigeria
The Nigerian Football Federation suffers a setback as Noah Atubolu earns his first call-up to the German national team, rejecting Nigeria's attempts to secure his allegiance. Atubolu's selection marks a loss for the Super Eagles, as the goalkeeper is no longer eligible to play for Nigeria.
This development follows a trend of players with multiple nationalities choosing other teams over Nigeria, including William, Iwobi, and Lookman. Atubolu's call-up comes after Oli Baumann's withdrawal due to illness, solidifying his position as one of Germany's top goalkeepers.
The decision deals a blow to Nigeria's chances of securing Atubolu's services for future matches.
