Nigeria’s Super Eagles are gearing up for a crucial 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifier this weekend, and one player eager to make his mark is Felix Agu, the versatile full-back from Bundesliga side Werder Bremen.
Born in Germany to Nigerian parents, Agu initially represented Germany at the U-20 level before making the bold decision earlier this year to switch allegiance and play for Nigeria. His debut came in May at the Unity Cup Invitational Tournament in London, where he featured in the thrilling 5-4 final victory over Jamaica.
Now at 25 years old, Agu is on the verge of his first competitive outing for the Super Eagles — and he couldn’t be more thrilled.
“It’s a big honour to come here to represent the Super Eagles, to represent my home country. It’s just nothing usual, like it’s one of the biggest countries in Africa,” Agu told Football Fans Tribe.
Agu’s addition to the team provides head coach Finidi George with more depth in defense, as Nigeria aims to secure a vital win against Rwanda. His versatility, pace, and European football experience could prove crucial in the Super Eagles’ campaign to book a ticket to the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
For Agu, this moment isn’t just about football — it’s about identity, pride, and representing his roots on one of the biggest stages in world football.
