Here’s Ahmed Musa’s Amazing Strategy to be in Nigeria’s squad for AFCON 2025.
Ahmed Musa is putting up a strong effort to earn a spot in the Super Eagles squad for the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) in Morocco, according to Segun Odegbami, the legendary football player from Nigeria.

Mu sa is 31 years old and the captain of the Nigerian soccer team. But he didn’t play in any of Nigeria’s games during the last AFCON in Côte d’Ivoire. That’s partly because of the emergence of younger players like Samuel Chukwueze.
Following his departure from his last Turkish club earlier in the year, the winger has had difficulty finding a new deal with a squad in Europe.
Musa has therefore made the bold decision to play for Kano Pillars in the Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL), a team he temporarily rejoined in 2021 before relocating to Turkey.
Odegbami says that Musa is returning to Kano Pillars to keep fit and earn a recall to the national team. Musa hasn’t played for Nigeria since 2021, and he hopes to earn a spot on the roster for the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) in Morocco.
The 1980 AFCON champion Odegbami acknowledged Musa’s accomplishments but voiced worry about the risk that Musa is assuming by making this decision.
“I have certain similarities with Ahmed Musa and I also wore the number seven jersey,” Odegbami said in his Complete Sports blog.
Ahmed Musa is one of the most prolific goal scorers in Nigerian history. He has scored four goals in two World Cups, which is the most goals scored by a Nigerian in the history of the competition.
Ahmed Musa is the most capped player in Nigerian history. He has played professionally in Europe, Russia, and the Middle East. He also holds two national honors, MON and OON.
Recognizing Musa’s extraordinary career, Ahmed Musa Odegbami pointed out that Musa is the only player from Nigeria to have played in the NPFL twice.
But the wise old guy said that Musa’s audacious choice to play in a domestic league for the third time in his career was motivated by his wish to be a valuable member of the national squad before Morocco 2025.
It has been reported that, six months after leaving the national team and failing to sign a contract to play for a team overseas, Odegbami will be returning to Kano Pillars FC this season. He hopes to capitalize on this “project” and make his way back to the Super Eagles in time for the 2025 AFCON in Morocco.

He’s taking a significant chance. Not many people before him followed that course. In the history of Nigerian football, very few players have finished their careers in the NPFL, and most likely none of them were able to make an impression.
In closing, Odegbami wished Musa the best of luck in his ambitious new adventure.
