Felix Agu has spoken candidly about his decision to switch international allegiance from Germany to Nigeria, according to a report by Completesports.com.
The Werder Bremen defender previously featured twice for Germany’s U-21 team, but recently made his senior debut for the Super Eagles in a friendly clash against the Reggae Boys of Jamaica.
“In the past, choosing Germany U21 was more about familiarity. I knew some of the players, and at that stage, I hadn’t even changed clubs, so it felt easier,” Agu said during an interview with sports journalist Ayo Olu Ibidapo.
“Now I feel mature and prepared. Representing the national team is the highest honor, and I’m really grateful to be called up and embraced by the squad.”
The 25-year-old marked his debut with success, helping Nigeria clinch the Unity Cup.
Looking ahead, Agu shared his ambitions: “For me, achieving something with the national team holds more meaning than at club level. The target is to win the Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) — not just reach the final, but bring the trophy home. And of course, we’re focused on qualifying for the World Cup next year.”
He also expressed appreciation for the warm reception he received from his new international teammates.
“Everyone made me feel at home. I already knew a few faces from Germany — Nathan Tella, Frank Onyeka, Boniface, and Maduka Okoye. The whole team was very welcoming, and it’s a great feeling to be part of this group,” he added.
