The Nigeria Football Federation will honour Alex Iwobi ahead of Nigeria’s international friendly against Portugal as the midfielder prepares to make his 100th appearance for the Super Eagles.
The Fulham star is set to become just the fourth Nigerian player to reach the milestone of 100 caps for the national team when he takes to the field at the Estádio Dr. Magalhães Pessoa in Leiria on Wednesday night.
To commemorate the achievement, the NFF will present Iwobi with a special plaque before kick-off, recognizing his decade-long contribution to Nigerian football.
The 30-year-old joins an elite group of Super Eagles legends who have reached the century mark, including former captain Joseph Yobo, ex-goalkeeper Vincent Enyeama and current national team captain Ahmed Musa.
Iwobi made his senior debut for Nigeria in October 2015 against the Democratic Republic of the Congo and has since become one of the team’s most dependable players.
Heading into his landmark appearance, the midfielder has recorded 10 goals and eight assists in 99 matches, playing a significant role in major tournaments and qualification campaigns for the three-time African champions.
The friendly against Portugal will not only serve as a key test for the Super Eagles but also provide a fitting stage for Iwobi to celebrate a remarkable milestone in his international career.
