Tochukwu Nnadi has opened up about his maiden call-up to the Super Eagles, DAILY POST reports.
The Zulte Waregem midfielder was named in Nigeria’s squad for the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations last week.
Nnadi is not new to national team football, having previously represented Nigeria at the U-20 level. He was part of the Flying Eagles squad for the 2023 FIFA U-20 World Cup.
The 22-year-old admitted that the invitation to the Super Eagles came as a surprise to him.
“I was young and I was always dreaming to be in the national team one day. I played in the U-20, and now I’m in the Super Eagles. Though I was not expecting it to be too soon, but now I’m here and I’m happy,” he told the Super Eagles media.
Nnadi also stated that he is ready to help the Super Eagles claim the title in Morocco.
“I know being in the national team comes with a lot of pressure. I come from a country with a lot of people, so playing for them is heavy. But I’m here to show my quality, fight for the team, and I hope we win the AFCON,” added Nnadi.
