Mubarak Suleiman Says Super Eagles Call-Up Came as a Surprise

Slavia Prague midfielder Mubarak Suleiman says he was surprised to receive his first call-up to the Super Eagles. He was named in Eric Chelle’s 24-man squad for Nigeria’s two AFCON 2027 qualifiers against Tanzania on November 13 and 17. Suleiman said he had hoped for another chance after an unsuccessful trial with Nigeria’s under-17 team in 2021. He described his first training session with the senior squad as a good learning experience and said he would make the most of any match opportunity. He added that his family and friends were thrilled by the news, and that his mother was especially emotional.
