Super Eagles captain, John Mikel Obi, has announced his retirement from international football.
Mikel made the announcement today on his verified Instagram page.
He said at the age of 32, it was time for him to bow out of the team and let the young ones take over.
Mikel 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!”
