Mubarak Suleiman’s Super Eagles career
Suleiman received his first senior Super Eagles invitation in November 2026, after his performances for Slavia Prague attracted the attention of Nigeria head coach Eric Chelle and his scouting team.
He was included in Nigeria’s 24-man squad for the 2027 Africa Cup of Nations qualifying double-header against Tanzania.
The midfielder joined the Super Eagles camp in Uyo ahead of the first meeting against Tanzania on November 13, handing him an opportunity to train alongside established internationals such as Wilfred Ndidi, Alex Iwobi and Ademola Lookman.
He has yet to make his senior international debut. The Tanzania fixtures could therefore mark the beginning of his journey with the Nigerian national team.
