Felix Agu Gets FIFA Clearance to Represent Nigeria’s Super Eagles
In a major boost for Nigerian football, Werder Bremen full-back, Felix Agu, has officially been cleared by FIFA to represent the Super Eagles of Nigeria.
The 24-year-old, born to Nigerian parents in Germany, had previously featured for Germany's U-21 team but was never capped in any official competitive match—either at junior or senior level. This key detail has now enabled a smooth transition for Agu to switch his international allegiance.
Agu was recently named in Nigeria’s squad for the upcoming Unity Cup Invitational Tournament by head coach Eric Chelle. Although he was initially awaiting final clearance, the German Football Federation (DFB) has now confirmed that he is eligible, clearing the final hurdle.
💬 Opinion: A New Era of Confidence in the Super Eagles' Defence?
Felix Agu’s addition could not have come at a better time. His pace, composure, and Bundesliga experience bring a fresh dynamic to the Nigerian backline—an area that has seen mixed performances in recent matches.
With a new wave of foreign-born talents pledging allegiance to the Super Eagles, Agu's commitment shows how strongly the green-white-green still calls to the hearts of Nigerians abroad. His decision might even encourage other dual-eligible players to follow suit and help build a stronger, united national team.
🎯 What’s Next?
All eyes will be on Agu as he joins the squad for the Unity Cup, where fans hope to see a solid debut performance. His presence could add more depth to Nigeria’s defensive options heading into future qualifiers and tournaments.
