Unity Cup: Eric Chelle explains why he left out Super Eagles top stars
Chelle announced nine home-based players for Unity Cup.
In a statement posted on their official Facebook account, the Super Eagles welcomed Agu to the squad after the DFB clarified that he has never played for Germany in any official matches at senior or junior competitive levels.
Agu’s only appearances for Germany were in two friendly matches for the U21 team in 2019, which does not cap-tie him to Germany.

“Felix Nnaemeka Agu confirmed ok to play for Nigeria’s @NGSuperEagles. The German FF have written to confirm that the player has never represented them at any official game at the A and Junior level. Played only 2 friendly games for the U21 team in 2019. Welcome Felix.”
Head Coach Eric Chelle included Agu in the 25-man squad for the Unity Cup, a four-nation tournament featuring Nigeria, Ghana, Jamaica, and Trinidad and Tobago, set to take place at the Gtech Community Stadium in Brentford, West London.
