Germany’s Kevin Akpoguma rejects Super Eagles change allegiance

Former Germany U-20 Captain, Kevin Ufuoma Akpoguma has rejected Nigeria’s overtures to change allegiance to the Super Eagles, saying he prefers to wait for his chance with the country of his birth.
“I feel honoured, of course, but I am German. I was born here, so I should play for Germany too.” said Akpoguma, who led his country to victory over Nigeria at the 2015 Junior World Cup in New Zealand.

Akpoguma was born in Germany but his father is a Nigerian, making him eligible to play for both countries.
He has already played for Germany at the youth level, but is still eligible to feature for the Super Eagles since he has not played in any competitive game for the world champions.
