Super Eagles new invitee Igoh Ogbu has revealed he once turned down the chance to represent Norway.
Ogbu moved to Norwegian club Roseburg after impressing for Nigeria at the FIFA U-20 World Cup in Poland in 2019.
The 25-year-old also had stint with Levanger and Sogndal before joining Lillestrøm.
The centre-back caught the eye during his stint with Lillestrøm and later earned a move to Czech giants Slavia Prague.
“There was a chance to play for Norway in my last season with Lillestrom,” he told SCORENigeria.
“But I always knew that I will also get my chance with the Super Eagles.”
Ogbu is in Nigeria’s squad for the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifying fixtures against Rwanda and Zimbabwe.
