Ahmed Musa has 98 caps and not 100 according to FIFA, NFF admits

Legit.ng earlier reported that a new statement by the Nigerian Football Federation admits that FIFA’s record of 98 caps for the Super Eagles captain Ahmed Musa is right.

It was gathered that two previous games which the star played in were nullified and do not count as a FIFA approved game.

The president of the NFF Amaju Pinnick earlier stated that the football house will reward Super Eagles captain Ahmed Musa with N10million for reaching 100 caps.

However in a new turn of events, FIFA claimed that Musa has been involved in 98 official games and that two matches were nullified.
