Midfielder Alex Iwobi of Fulham and the Super Eagles has stated he has no regrets about selecting Nigeria over England.

In Nigeria, I genuinely felt more at home. Playing football is like being at a festival or a party. When you enter the game, you see players playing drums and trumpets, and it doesn’t even seem like a fitting match. Indeed, this is where I belong, I thought to myself.

“I respect England, of course, but I don’t regret choosing Nigeria.”

Iwobi competed for England in under-18 competitions. In October 2015, he made his senior international debut for Nigeria.
