Nigeria's Footballer Mikel Hangs His Boot As He Call It Done With National Team

John Obi Mikel

John Obi Mikel said Egypt is a country where I have started and also have finished my National career. 

In 2006, I played my first official championship for my country. 

2019 African Cup of Nations marks my last championship for the Nigeria National Team (Super Eagles ) as well.

My national career started in 2003 under 17 World Cup and am grateful for the national team for placing me on the world arena and giving me an opportunity to show my skill and have an incredible National and International career.

At the age of 32 it's time for me to retire from the National team and let the youth take over, they have done amazing job by securing bronze medal at AFCON 2019.

Thank you to all my Nigerian supporters and to my country for all the trust, support and love you have shown me over the past 15 years.
