🇳🇬 ALEX IWOBI - A Century of National Service
🇳🇬🇵🇹 Before kick-off of Nigeria’s international friendly against Portugal, in Lisbon Portugal, NSC Chairman @ShehuDikko presented a commemorative framed jersey to @alexiwobi in recognition of his 100th appearance for the Super Eagles.
Alex Iwobi made his debut for Nigeria in 2015 and has been a key part of the @NGSuperEagles ever since. The @FulhamFC midfielder now joins an exclusive group of Nigerian football centurions.
The National Sports Commission celebrates a player whose commitment, consistency and service to the nation have earned him a place among Nigeria’s football centurions.

There needs to be a balance. 👀
