Ndidi named new Super Eagles’ captain ahead AFCON 2025

Wilfred Ndidi has officially been named the new captain of the Super Eagles, DAILY POST reports.

Ndidi’s appointment will usher a new era of leadership for the Super Eagles following William Troost-Ekong’s retirement from international football.

The midfielder’s appointment was confirmed on the Super Eagles X account on Friday.

The Besiktas star is counting on the support of his teammates to make his reign successful.

“It’s a huge responsibility, with the help of the players everything will be smooth,” Ndidi told the Super Eagles media.

“I have had conversation with a couple of the players. Just to let them know the reason why we are. I also need their support as well. The staff as well, we are all in this together.

“We have conversation on the task ahead, and it is important for us to be together on the same page.”
