Emmanuel Fernandez has expressed his excitement after making his debut for the Super Eagles of Nigeria, UGAMATV reports.
The Rangers defender came on for Semi Ajayi after halftime in Nigeria’s 2-1 win over Iran on Friday afternoon.
Fernandez, who was born in London to Nigerian parents, was eligible to represent both Nigeria and England but ultimately chose the three-time African champions.
The 24-year-old revealed that playing for Nigeria has been a lifelong dream. “It’s my home nation, it’s where my family is from, it’s where I am from. It’s something that I have always wanted to happen,” he told Rangers TV.
Fernandez is expected to make his second appearance for the Super Eagles when they face Jordan in Antalya next Tuesday.
