Femi Azeez, who currently plays as a winger for English Championship side Millwall, has pledged his international allegiance to Nigeria.
The forward was born in England to a Nigerian father and a Spanish mother. He is, therefore, eligible to don the colours of Nigeria’s Super Eagles, England’s Three Lions, or the Spanish La Roja.
However, according to Footmercato.net, the 24-year-old has opted to play for the Super Eagles following an approach by the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF).
After committing his future to Nigeria, Azeez is now expected to be named in the Super Eagles squad for the upcoming friendly invitational tournament.

Azeez might be playing in the Premier League next season, as Millwall are currently third in the Championship and in contention for promotion to the English top flight.
Prior to his decision to play for Nigeria, Super Eagles head coach Éric Chelle pledged he would comb Europe for Nigerian-born players ahead of his side’s participation in next month’s 2026 Unity Cup.
