The Euro 2024 tournament has lit up the sporting world with giant slaying clash, mouthwatering goals and record-breaking performances all in the first round of games that have recorded 34 goals so far with FIFA top-ranked Belgium suffering an early defeat to low-ranked Slovakia.
Real Madrid youngster, Arda Guler broke Cristiano Ronaldo’s record to become the youngest player to score on their Euros debut against Georgia. The ‘Turkish Messi’ did it in style by netting a worldie that has been nominated for goal of the round.
Amidst the series of entertaining games on display at the EURO 2024, Nigeria has found a way to squeeze itself into the tournament and for some Nigerians, it is a distraction from the recent poor performance of the Super Eagles in the World Cup qualifiers.
Among the standout players are several players with Nigerian roots, who, while representing European nations, carry the heritage and legacy of Nigeria.
The footballers who ply their trades at clubs like Bayern Munich, and Arsenal, amongst others have openly embraced their parents’ Nigerian roots and have pivotal roles to play for teams like Germany, Netherlands, England, and Italy. SEE THE NIGERIA-BORN STARS HERE
