Ahmed Musa has been named captain of Nigeria’s Super Eagles for the 2025 Unity Cup, marking his return to the national team after a spell on the sidelines.

The Unity Cup, dormant since 2004, returns with an expanded line-up: Nigeria, Ghana, Jamaica, and Trinidad and Tobago. The Super Eagles lifted the trophy in the tournament’s inaugural edition.
Semi-final fixtures will see Trinidad and Tobago face Jamaica on 27 May, followed by Nigeria’s showdown with arch-rivals Ghana the next day. Dwight Yorke, now managing Trinidad & Tobago, adds further pedigree to the competition.
