The Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL) continues to provide a pathway for domestic talent to the international stage, with four players from three clubs receiving national team invitations ahead of the upcoming international fixtures, BSNSports.com.ng reports.

Three of the four players have been invited by the Super Eagles of Nigeria for their international friendly against Russia in October.

Rangers International defender Kenneth Igboke, alongside Ikorodu City midfielder Aderemi Adeoye and fellow Ikorodu City player Michael Atata, will have the opportunity to be part of the Super Eagles setup as Nigeria prepares for the friendly encounter.

Meanwhile, Katsina United goalkeeper Frank Koroma has earned a call-up to the Sierra Leone national team for their 2027 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) qualifying campaign.

The four call-ups represent another significant moment for the NPFL, highlighting the growing recognition of players performing in Nigeria’s domestic league and their pathway to international football.

As the international window approaches, attention will turn to Igboke, Adeoye, Atata and Koroma as they look to make the most of their opportunities on the international stage.
