Ahmed Musa Returns to Lead Eagles vs Ghana
NPFL club Kano Pillars have confirmed that their star forward Ahmed Musa will captain the Nigeria Super Eagles in the upcoming Unity Cup tournament scheduled for late May 2025 at Brentford Stadium, London.
The club announced on their social media that Musa is set to lead the national team from May 26 to 31 during the four-nation competition featuring Nigeria, Ghana, Jamaica, and Trinidad & Tobago.
Musa, who has been in impressive form for Kano Pillars this NPFL season, has scored 8 goals and provided 2 assists, reinforcing his case for a national team recall after being omitted from recent World Cup qualifiers.
His leadership and experience are seen as vital assets for a squad that could be missing several key players due to club commitments and FIFA regulations.
