Super Eagles invitee Emmanuel Fernandez has disclosed that it was impossible for him to turn down the opportunity to represent the senior national team at the international level.
Recall that the Rangers center-back was officially named in Nigeria’s 23-man squad on Wednesday by head coach Éric Chelle, earning a coveted spot for the team’s upcoming international friendlies.
Nigeria is set to face Iran and Jordan, providing Fernandez with a potential debut platform on the international stage.

“The idea is to go in there and try and make my mark.”

God bless you real good, Emmanuel Olusegun Opeyemi Fernandez for your unparalleled patriotism. May your international career blossom beginning with the features against Iran and Jordan.
Welcome on board to the Super Eagles of Nigeria!
Amen in Jesus Christ name.
I like his words ” a great football nation like Nigeria” This is nothing but the truth,if not for avaricious attitudes of NFF that shambolically toyed without our World Cup Qualifiers
