Super Eagles coach Eric Chelle says Ahmed Musa must prove himself once more, as pressure mounts ahead of Wednesday’s clash with Ghana in the Unity Cup.
  • Musa returns to the Super Eagles after last featuring at the 2023 AFCON.
  • Coach Chelle insists Musa must “be very good” to earn a place.
  • Nine other NPFL players have also been called up and asked to show their worth.
  • Unity Cup in London will test systems and player combinations.
  • The team is preparing for the 2026 World Cup qualifiers starting in September.
This is no sentimental recall, it's a final audition. Ahmed Musa, once a national icon, now has to prove he still belongs in a younger, evolving Super Eagles side. Chelle's message is firm but respectful: past glory won't cut it. For Musa and the NPFL contingent, this is a chance to shift narratives — from underdogs to assets.

The Unity Cup isn’t just a friendly, it’s a spotlight. Will Musa rise again, or will this mark the end of his Super Eagles story?
