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…

Super Eagles defender Bruno Onyemaechi was the one who swapped shirts with the legendary Cristiano Ronaldo, saying it was a dream come true for him.

Onyemaechi has previously played in Portugal with Boavista and his partner is Portuguese.

Four years ago, coach Finidi George and Moses Simon were caught on camera trying to get this prized jersey.

Ronaldo will lead Portugal to the 2026 World Cup, which will be his sixth appearance at the global stage.

The Super Eagles will present Alex Iwobi with a commemorative plaque to celebrate his 100th appearance before tonight’s friendly against Portugal.

The 30-year-old Fulham star will join an elite group of players led by Ahmed Musa, who have reached a century of appearances for Nigeria.

Goalkeeper Vincent Enyeama and Joseph Yobo are the other players to hit this milestone.

After he represented England at youth level, Iwobi made his Super Eagles debut on October 8, 2015, in a friendly against DR Congo.

One of the highlights of his international career was scoring the goal against Zambia in Uyo that qualified Nigeria to the 2018 World Cup in Russia.

He has scored 10 goals and made eight assists.
