In 2019, Victor Osimhen received his first senior national team call-up and joined the Super Eagles camp. However, at that time, the U-23 team was on the brink of missing out on Olympic qualification.
Osimhen was excused from the Super Eagles camp to help the U-23s in a crucial match against Libya — and he delivered brilliantly, scoring a hat-trick that secured Nigeria’s place at the Olympics.
Fast forward to yesterday, Osimhen once again rose to the occasion, netting another hat-trick to revive the Super Eagles’ hopes of qualifying for the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
