The captain of the Super Eagles, William Troost-Ekong, has announced his international retirement. His decision comes a few weeks before the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations. Troost-Ekong, on Thursday, posted a video on social media and tagged it: “Honoured. Grateful. Forever a Super Eagles. “Playing for Nigeria has been the greatest privilege of my life. “The journey may end here, but my support never will. “Here’s to the next chapter.” Troost-Ekong’s decision to step aside comes as a surprise to many fans, especially as Eric Chelle included him in his 54-man provisional squad for the tournament. The 32-year-old retires after earning 83 caps and playing in five major tournaments for Nigeria.
