Former Nigeria midfielder, Sunday Oliseh, has vowed that his son, Denzel, will play for the country.
Denzel’s mother is half Belgian and half Moroccan, making him eligible to represent other countries.
But when asked which country his son will play for, Oliseh senior replied a Twitter user: “Naija” accompanied by emojis of thumbs up and prayer.
Denzel is hoping to follow his father’s footstep by becoming a professional footballer.
Oliseh was an accomplished footballer in his active days and played for several top clubs like Juventus and Ajax.
His younger brothers, Egwuatu and Azubuike also played professionally in Europe.
On FIFA duty
Oliseh has confirmed he will be working under legendary Arsenal boss, Arsene Wenger, during the 2022 World Cup in Qatar.
Oliseh has been selected by FIFA as one of the six technical experts for the tournament.
The former Borussia Dortmund posted a picture of himself, Wenger and four other men on Twitter on Saturday morning.
He captioned it: “Meet the 6 Technical Experts in Qatar, assembled by FIFA Worldwide to bring you Enhanced Football Intelligence (EFI’S) of every game under leadership of “Sir” Arsene Wenger; Klinnsman, Zaccheroni, Cha, Oliseh, Mondragon and Zubi.
“You can get live podcasts after each game from FIFA.”
Oliseh will not be reviewing any games involving Nigeria, as the Super Eagles lost out on qualification to rivals Ghana.
