Football Icons Unite in Celebration of Kenneth Omeruo’s 24th Birthday
Football’s global and continental governing bodies, FIFA and CAF, along with the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF), joined hands to commemorate the 24th birthday of Super Eagles and Kasimpasa defender, Kenneth Omeruo. The seasoned footballer, who recently proposed to his long-time girlfriend Chioma, received well-wishes from across the football community.
In a tweet, FIFA extended birthday greetings not only to Omeruo but also to football luminaries Saki Kumagai, Graeme Le Saux, and Sergio Goycochea. The world football governing body underscored the significance of the occasion by symbolically marking the birthdays of these esteemed athletes.

CAF, the Confederation of African Football, echoed the sentiment, sending out a message through social media. “Happy birthday to Nigerian International Kenneth Omeruo #African_Players,” CAF tweeted, recognizing Omeruo’s contribution to African football.
While Omeruo has been absent from recent Super Eagles squads, his past achievements, including being part of the 2013 Africa Cup of Nations-winning team and representing Nigeria in the 2014 World Cup and the 2013 FIFA Confederations Cup, have left an indelible mark on the nation’s football legacy.
The NFF, cognizant of Omeruo’s birthday, conveyed their wishes through a tweet: “Happy birthday @NGSuperEagles defender Kenneth @Omeruo22.” The gesture reflects the federation’s recognition and appreciation for Omeruo’s dedication to the national team.
As the football world unites in celebration, Kenneth Omeruo’s 24th birthday stands as a testament to his enduring impact on the sport, both nationally and internationally.
