Super Eagles captain William Troost-Ekong has announced his retirement from international football, drawing the curtain on a decade-long career with Nigeria.
The decision comes barely two weeks before the start of the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations in Morocco.
Troost-Ekong made 83 appearances for the national team and featured in five major international tournaments, including several AFCON campaigns and the FIFA World Cup. Over the course of his international career, he won three medals with the Super Eagles.
His retirement marks the end of an era for one of Nigeria’s most consistent and influential defenders.
