Ahmed Musa

Nigeria’s most capped international, Ahmed Musa has announced his retirement from the Super Eagles.

Musa’s decision brings an end to his 15-year international career that spanned three World Cups, five Africa Cup of Nations tournaments and 111 appearances in the Super Eagles green and white shirt.

Now Kano Pillars General Manager-cum-player, Musa confirmed his decision on Wednesday via social media platform Instagram.

Musa wrote: “I wore this badge with pride for 15 years. From a 17-year-old boy answering every call to becoming the most capped Super Eagle with 111 appearances. AFCON champion and Nigeria’s highest World Cup goal scorer.

“Captain. Servant. Believer.

“I gave everything.

“Thank you Nigeria… my heart will always beat green.”

Musa’s announcement comes after his omission from Eric Chelle’s latest Super Eagles squad for the Africa Cup of Nations in Morocco.
