Super Eagles Update: Leon Balogun Eager to Return to National Team
Leon Balogun, the 36-year-old defender currently playing for Rangers FC in Scotland, has reaffirmed his commitment to the Nigerian national team, the Super Eagles. Despite not receiving a call-up since his last appearance in June 2022 during Nigeria’s 10-0 victory over São Tomé and Príncipe, Balogun emphasizes that he has not retired from international football.
He clarified that a prolonged injury between November 2022 and March 2023 prevented his participation during that period, but he has since regained full fitness and remains eager to represent Nigeria.
Balogun’s experience and leadership have been instrumental for the Super Eagles in the past, and his return could bolster the team’s defense in upcoming competitions. His continued dedication underscores his readiness to contribute to Nigeria’s football ambitions.
