Bayern Munich winger Michael Olise is no longer eligible to play for Nigeria following his competitive debut for France’s national team.
The 22-year-old was officially cap-tied to France after starting in their UEFA Nations League match against Italy, held at the Parc des Princes.
Before committing to France, Olise was eligible to represent Nigeria, England, and Algeria due to his diverse background. He could have chosen Nigeria through his Nigerian father, France through his French-Algerian mother, or England due to his birth in London.
With his decision to play for Les Bleus, the former Crystal Palace star has ended any future possibility of representing the Super Eagles.
