Wilfred Ndidi has been named the new captain of the Super Eagles

The midfielder takes over the role following William Troost-Ekong’s retirement from international football, signaling a new chapter of leadership for the national team.

Ndidi’s appointment was confirmed via the Super Eagles’ official X account on Friday.

The Besiktas star emphasized the importance of teamwork in ensuring a successful captaincy.

“It’s a huge responsibility, but with the help of the players everything will be smooth,” Ndidi told Super Eagles media.

“I have had conversations with a couple of the players to explain our purpose and to seek their support. The staff as well—we are all in this together. We discussed the tasks ahead, and it’s important for us to be on the same page.”
