Azeez was initially considered for Nigeria’s June friendlies against Poland and Portugal, but Millwall declined to release him, leading to his omission from the final squad. Despite this, his performances in club football and the Unity Cup have kept him in the conversation for future call-ups. His development at Millwall, where he has become a key player, continues to attract attention from Nigerian football officials and fans alike.
The process of securing a Nigerian passport is now underway, and once completed, Azeez will be eligible for selection in the upcoming qualifiers. His potential inclusion would add depth and dynamism to Nigeria’s attacking options, especially as the team prepares for the 2027 AFCON campaign. With his speed, technical skills, and goal-scoring ability, Azeez represents a promising future for the Super Eagles. His journey from London to Lagos could soon become a reality, as Nigeria looks to build a competitive squad for the next continental tournament.
