Even though it is the Euro Championships, there will be some Nigerian players on show.

kicked off on Friday, June 11 but because it is Europe does not mean that Nigeria won’t be subtly represented and there are five players of Nigerian descent out of the 622 players registered for the tournament. These five will represent four of the 16 countries that will jostle for the Henri Delaunay trophy to be awarded on July 11, 2021.The biggest name in the Austria national team, the 28-year-old defender/midfielder is a multi-winner in the Bundesliga and in the Champions League.

I heard nothing from Nigeria. So, it was my decision.”The little-known forward plays in the Bundesliga with Mainz and for the Austria national football team. Onisiwo, like Alaba, has a Nigerian father and an Austrian mother. He made his debut for the Austria team in a friendly match against Switzerland in November 2015 and to date, has 11 caps and one goal.Saka has had two really excellent seasons at Arsenal and made the England team to Euro 2020 because of this.
