Alex Iwobi Reveals His Ultimate Super Eagles 5-a-Side Team
On September 24, Fulham midfielder Alex Iwobi selected his ideal five-a-side team from Super Eagles history, which includes Vincent Enyeama as goalkeeper, alongside outfield players Joseph Yobo, Jay-Jay Okocha, Nwankwo Kanu, and John Obi Mikel. This selection was made in an interview with Nigerian media ahead of Nigeria's opening 2027 Africa Cup of Nations qualifier against Madagascar.
Iwobi's choice drew attention for notable omissions, including Nigeria's all-time leading goalscorer Rashidi Yekini and legendary goalkeeper Peter Rufai. The match is critical for Nigeria, as only one team will advance from their group.
Coach Eric Chelle has called up 24 players for the camp, and Nigeria is considered the favorite in this fixture, having lost to Madagascar in their last encounter in 2019. Iwobi, who has over 100 caps for the Super Eagles, aims to reach 101 caps in the upcoming match.
