Ahmed Musa Is Left Out of Austine Eguavoen List
Despite his strong form with Kano Pillars, Ahmed Musa is notably absent from Augustine Eguavoen’s 35-man squad for the Super Eagles B team’s 2025 Africa Nations Championship (CHAN) qualifying fixture against Ghana.
The Augustine Eguavoen list, which includes standouts like Remo Stars’ Ismail Sadiq, Kano Pillars’ Zikifilu Rabiu, and Enugu Rangers’ Kazeem Ogunleye, has sparked discussions about Musa’s omission given his recent impressive performances.
The first leg of this highly anticipated showdown is set for the weekend of December 20-22, with the return leg a week later.
The stakes are high, as the winner will secure a spot at CHAN 2025, co-hosted by Kenya, Mozambique, and Tanzania, with the tournament scheduled to run from February 1-28, 2025.
