Former England U19 skipper, Ola Aina is poised to make his competitive debut for the Super Eagles when they take on the Indomitable Lions in Yaounde on Monday, September 4.
FIFA has approved Ola Aina’s request for a one-time change of association to turn out for the Super Eagles after representing the Young Lions earlier in his career.
It is thought the paperwork was not completed in time before Friday evening’s World Cup qualifier against the African champions.
”Ola Aina has been cleared by FIFA to play for Nigeria, he might play his first game for the Super Eagles against Cameroon in Yaounde,” a Nigeria Football Federation insider said.
The 20-year-old Ola Aina featured in over 35 matches for England’s youth teams.
