The Nigeria Football Federation have confirmed that Felix Agu will be eligible to feature for the Super Eagles in the Unity Cup scheduled to take place in London, after the full-back was given the all clear by the German Federation.
“Felix Nnaemeka Agu confirmed ok to play for Nigeria’s [Super Eagles],” the NFF made this known via a statement on social media. “The German FF have written to confirm that the player has never represented them at any official game at the A and Junior level.”
Agu, who is currently on the books for German Bundesliga side Werder Bremen, played only two friendly games for the German U21 team in 2019.
He received an invitation by Super Eagles head coach Eric Chelle to train with the national team, ahead of the upcoming Unity Cup tournament in London. Although, he had not yet joined the national team set-up before the recent development.
The 25-year-old played a total of 22 matches for Bremen in the just-concluded Bundesliga campaign, scoring three goals from his left flank position, whilst providing only one assist to help the Green-Whites to a respectable eighth-placed finish, where they accumulated 51 points from a total of 34 games played.
On the disciplinary front, Agu was only yellow carded once across the 22 top-flight matches he featured. He also took part in the 2024/2025 DFB Pokal (German Cup), making just three appearances and registering zero goals and zero assists.
His previous national team engagements came with the German U-21s as far back in 2019, where he featured twice under manager Stefan Kuntz in youth friendly encounters.
The non-competitive games Agu featured for Germany has no impediments in his decision to switch allegiance and represent his fatherland.
