Sevilla FC has welcomed back two of its Nigerian players, Akor Adams and Chidera Ejuke, following their participation in the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations. The Super Eagles, Nigeria’s national team, finished third in the tournament held in Morocco.
Akor Adams and Chidera Ejuke were part of the Nigerian squad that competed in the tournament, with Akor featuring in all seven of Nigeria’s games. He scored two goals and provided one assist throughout the competition. In contrast, Ejuke made only two appearances for the team.
