Will Iwobi’s 100 caps stand?
Record keepers have questioned the 100 caps for the Super Eagles credited to Alex Iwobi.
The Super Eagles presented the Fulham star with a plaque to mark his milestone appearance before Wednesday night’s friendly against Portugal.
However, the records showed that FIFA chalked off a 2018 World Cup qualifier in Algeria after the game was forfeited by Nigeria for fielding an ineligible player – Shehu Abdullahi.
Also, FIFA also chalked off a friendly against Togo in 2017 because of the record number of substitutes played in the game.
That would then mean that Iwobi is on 98 caps, two games away from the Century milestone…
