The 32-year-old scored 8 goals and provided 2 assists during the 2024/25 Nigeria Premier Football League season, reaffirming his reputation as one of the league’s top wingers.
His strong form earned him a spot in Nigeria’s initial 39-man squad for the 2026 World Cup qualifiers against Rwanda and Zimbabwe, though he was later omitted from the final 29-man list.
Head coach Eric Chelle later recalled the AFCON winner for the Unity Cup in London, including him among 10 NPFL players selected.
Musa featured in the second half of the match against Ghana, coming in for AC Milan winger Samuel Chukwueze in the 60th minute and making his presence felt with his pace and incisive passing.
However, he missed the final against Jamaica due to his wedding ceremony, which took place on the same day, as reported by Legit.ng.

Ahmed Musa returns to Jos
Super Eagles captain Ahmed Musa is spending his off-season break in Jos, Plateau State, following the conclusion of the 2024/25 football season.
In a post shared on Instagram, the 32-year-old was seen playing football with his childhood friends on a sandy local pitch.
Notably, the former CSKA Moscow star wore the jersey of Enugu Rangers, an appearance that drew praise from the club’s General Manager, Amobi Ezeaku.
Musa also reunited on the pitch with some of his former teammates from GBS Football Academy and JUTH FC, where his professional journey began. He said:
"Where it all started J Town #home 🔥."

He is the only Nigerian to have scored a brace in two different FIFA World Cup tournaments and currently holds the record as the most capped player for the national team, per FIFA.
