The Nigeria Football Federation has deferred to FIFA’s record of 98 caps for Super Eagles’ captain Ahmed Musa, following the nullification of two of the matches he played in which should have made his tally 100.

"We defer to FIFA in this regard, so Ahmed Musa has 98 caps. If he features, as expected, in the home-and-away matches against Central African Republic in October, he will clock the tally of 100 and the celebrations will follow in full flow,” - NFF’s Director of Communications, Ademola Olajire

Ahmed Musa will still be the fastest Nigerian player to reach 100 caps if he plays the two games against C.A.R in October
