NPFL club Kano Pillars have announced that their star striker, Ahmed Musa, will captain the Nigeria Super Eagles in the upcoming Unity Cup tournament. The four-nation competition is scheduled to take place at Brentford Stadium in London from May 26th to 31st, 2025.
The club made the confirmation via their social media channels, stating that Musa will lead the national team during the tournament, which will feature Nigeria alongside Ghana, Jamaica, and Trinidad & Tobago.
Musa has been in impressive form for Kano Pillars throughout the current NPFL season, registering 8 goals and 2 assists. His consistent performances have strengthened his case for a recall to the national team, especially after his recent omission from the World Cup qualifiers squad.
His experience and leadership qualities are considered crucial for the Super Eagles, particularly with the potential absence of several key players due to club commitments and FIFA regulations during this period.
The Unity Cup presents a valuable opportunity for the Nigerian national team to foster team spirit and build cohesion as they prepare for the resumption of the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers.
