Former Nigerian international, Sunday Oliseh has lent his voice to the calls for the inclusion of more players from the Nigerian Professional Football League (NPFL) in the Super Eagles ahead of the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations.

 

Oliseh made this known via his official X handle, where he kicked against the provisional squad released by the Super Eagles coach, Jose Peseiro for the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations that had only three NPFL players.

 

Oliseh lamented that home based players are being eliminated in favor of football business, while calling for more actions against this.

 

Recall that on Thursday, Odion Ighalo voiced his disappointment regarding the limited inclusion of local players in the Super Eagles’ provisional squad for the 2023 AFCON, saying he believes that home-based players deserve greater representation in the national team.
