Ahmed Musa, captain of Nigeria's Super Eagles, has clarified recent rumors about his retirement, asserting that he has merely taken a break from international duties rather than permanently stepping down.
Despite missing recent fixtures, including the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations and World Cup qualifiers, Musa affirmed his ongoing commitment to the national team during a press conference in Kaduna. He dispelled speculations about his future while emphasizing the importance of unity and camaraderie among northern Nigerian celebrities, showcased in the AREWA Celebrities Friendly Match he organized.
Musa, who has been without a club since parting ways with Sivasspor, used the event to promote solidarity and community spirit among local celebrities. His recent appearances for the Super Eagles, including a brief cameo in a friendly against Guinea earlier this year, underscore his continued involvement in Nigerian football despite his current club status.
