Okoye Gets Late Call-up To Super Eagles For Friendlies Against Saudi Arabia, Mozambique

Maduka Okoye has gotten a late call-up to the Super Eagles for their doubleheader international friendly games against Saudi Arabia and Mozambique, Completesports.com reports.

This was confirmed on the Super Eagles X handle on Wednesday.

Okoye’s late invitation maybe not be unconnected to Adebayo Adeleye’s unavailability following the war in Israel.

His last invite to the Super Eagles was in an international friendly game against Portugal on 17 November, 2022 which the three-time AFCON winners lost 4-0.
