“Despite the result, I’m more than happy and grateful to have played in this jersey again,” Okoye stated. “It has always been, it is, and it will forever be an honor to represent Nigeria.”
Okoye’s return marks a significant step in his international career as he aims to solidify his place in the Super Eagles lineup.
