Nigeria's Enyeama quits international football

Goalkeeper Vincent Enyeama has announced his retirement from the national team.

Enyeama said on his Instagram page he is no longer available for national team duties and would henceforth face his club career.

The 33-year-old goalkeeper took the decision to quit just hours before Nigeria's Super Eagles face DR Congo in an international friendly in Belgium on Thursday.

He wrote, “I have fought a good fight for more than 13years.I have finished my course, I have kept the faith and sang the anthem with passion. henceforth, there is laid for me a crown which only GOD can reward me for my 13years of national services. God bless Nigeria.

“Henceforth, I am no more the captain of the Nigerian senior football team, I am no more the goalie of the team. I am out of the team. I am no more available for international duties.

“I want to say thank you to every Nigerian fan and supporter world wide. It’s been the most trying period of my life but I know that Nigerians are there for me and God is with me. God bless Nigeria.”
