A defender born in England, Gabriel Osho, expressed his readiness to give his all while playing for Nigeria as he gears up for his debut with the Super Eagles. The Eagles are preparing to face Benin Republic and Rwanda in the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers, with Osho being part of the 23-man squad for both matches.
Having arrived early in camp, the 26-year-old is eager to make his international debut for Nigeria. Despite being previously called up by former coach Finidi George and unable to join due to injury, Osho is now poised to make his first appearance.
Competing with established players like Calvin Bassey, William Troost-Ekong, and newcomer Victor Collins, Osho is prepared to compete for his spot in the team. He emphasized his commitment to the Nigerian jersey and acknowledged the abundance of talent in the country.
Expressing gratitude for the opportunity, Osho highlighted the competitive nature of Nigerian football and the honor of representing the nation among many other talented players. He is determined to work hard and contribute his best to the team.
Nigeria’s upcoming matches against Benin Republic and Rwanda are crucial, with the team currently leading Group D with 10 points. Securing at least one point in the remaining fixtures will guarantee their place in the AFCON tournament in Morocco next year.
