NFF President Gusau Hails Ahmed Musa After International Retirement

President of the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF), Ibrahim Musa Gusau (MON), has paid glowing tribute to Ahmed Musa following the former Super Eagles captain’s official retirement from international football.
Gusau described Musa as a towering figure for Nigeria, praising both his on-field impact and leadership qualities off it.
“Ahmed Musa was a rock for Nigeria, both on the pitch and in the dressing room. He was a charismatic leader and an amazing patriot who gave his all at all times whenever he was called upon,” Gusau said.
“The Nigeria Football Federation joins other individuals and entities within Nigeria and globally to celebrate a man whose simplicity and humility, aside from his commitment and zeal to win for Nigeria, remain virtues that should be embraced by upcoming and even established players of our time.”
Musa bows out as Nigeria’s record goalscorer at the FIFA World Cup, with four goals across two tournaments in Brazil 2014 and Russia 2018. He formally ends his international career just months after taking up the role of General Manager of Nigeria Premier Football League side Kano Pillars.
A key member of the 2013 AFCON-winning Super Eagles, Musa also claimed bronze in 2019 and silver in 2023 at Africa’s flagship tournament. He represented Nigeria at U-20, U-23 and senior levels and retires as the most-capped Super Eagles player of all time, with 111 appearances.
Musa’s legacy remains one of dedication, leadership and patriotism, marking him out as one of the most influential figures in the history of Nigerian football.
