Super Eagles captain Mikel Obi has retired from the national
team.
He retired following the third-placed finish of the Super Eagles
at Egypt 2019 AFCON.
Mikel took to his verified Instagram page to make the
announcement.
Spotting his photo in the national colours, the former Chelsea
ace wrote: “Egypt is a country where I’ve started and have finished
my National career.
“In 2006 I played my first official championship for my country.
2019 African Cup of Nations marks my last championship for National
Team with Super Eagles.
“My national career started in 2003 under 17 World Cup and I’m
grateful for the national team for placing me on the world arena
and giving me an opportunity to show my skill and have an
incredible National and International career.
“At the age of 32, it’s time for me to retire from the National
team and let the youth take over, who’ve done an amazing job
securing a bronze medal at AFCON 2019.
“Thank you to all my Nigerian supporters and to my Country for
all the trust, support and love you’ve shown me over the past 15
years.
“Mikel am out!”
