O. Arthur Joins Super Eagles for AFCON Qualifiers
O. Arthur, a 24-year-old goalkeeper, has been called up to the Nigeria national football team, the Super Eagles, for their 2027 Africa Cup of Nations qualification series.
He will join the squad under manager Eric Chelle for matches against Guinea-Bissau and Madagascar, with the first match scheduled for September 25, 2023. Arthur, who recently transferred from Wrexham to League One side Charlton, has made four appearances for his new club.
He made his international debut during the Unity Cup tournament in May, where he played the full match in a 2-0 semi-final victory over Zimbabwe and kept a clean sheet in the final, leading to a 3-0 win against Jamaica. In the upcoming qualifiers, Arthur will face competition for the number one goalkeeper position from fellow invitees Okonkwo, Stanley Nwabali, and Maduka Okoye.
