Thursday December 4th, 2025 William Troost-Ekong formally announced his decision to call it a day for the national team, just a few weeks before the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations.
The defender had been included in the Super Eagles' 55-man preliminary squad for the African showpiece billed for Morocco.
Regardless, he has pulled out of the squad after making 83 caps for the three-time African champions since making his debut in an AFCON qualifier against Chad on June 13, 2015.
