William Troost-Ekong Celebrates 10 Years of Playing for Super Eagles
William Troost-Ekong has marked a major milestone—ten years since he first wore the Super Eagles jersey. Born in the Netherlands to a Nigerian father and Dutch mother, the solid centre-back made his debut for Nigeria on June 13, 2015, in a match against Chad. Now 31, Troost-Ekong recently earned his 79th cap in a game against Russia at Moscow’s Luzhniki Stadium.
Reflecting on his journey, he gave heartfelt credit to the late Stephen Keshi, the legendary coach who gave him his first shot. He also shared how honoured he feels to have taken over the captain’s armband from Ahmed Musa.
“10 years wearing this green and white—June 13, 2015 to June 6, 2025. I’ll always remember Stephen Keshi for trusting me to make my debut in Kaduna,” the Al-Kholood defender shared online. “79 appearances, 5 big tournaments, 3 medals. Becoming captain is one of my proudest moments. No dream is too big. This is what I was made for. Every day, I’m working to be better. Always grateful.”
Captain of the Morocco national team, Achraf Hakimi, has shared his thoughts on the controversial topic surrounding AFCON 2025.
It can be noted that the team was accused of taking towels belonging to opposition goalkeepers during matches, which sparked criticism from fans and observers, with many calling for consequences.
Hakimi expressed his disappointment over the situation, stating “I don’t feel proud about the image we gave off with the towels. Even though that happened, the team did well in the competition. We showed respect for our opponents in the tournament.”
Ademola Lookman has praised Atlético Madrid following their 2–0 victory over Barcelona.
It can be noted that the match ended 2–0, with goals scored by Julián Álvarez and Alexander Sørloth.
Speaking in a recent interview, Lookman commended the team’s performance and unity “It was a good result. The performance of the team, especially not to concede here, shows the work everyone’s been doing and the togetherness.”
Young Arsenal player Max Dowman is making headlines after reaching a major milestone—becoming the youngest player to feature in the UEFA Champions League knockout stages.
The previous record was held by Lamine Yamal, who made his appearance at 16 years and 223 days. Dowman, however, has now broken that record at just 16 years and 97 days.
The youngster continues to show great promise, adding another impressive achievement to his early career.
