I Wished I Played For Nigeria – Ghana Goalkeeper

Black Stars goalkeeper Fatau Dauda has admitted he would gladly play for the Super Eagles if FIFA rules would allow such.

The Enyimba man has featured at the 2014 World Cup as well as the AFCON for the West Africans.

He has however confessed his love for Nigeria, describing the country as passionate about the game.

Despite the fierce rivalry between the nations, the Enyimba shot-stopper who has been ignored by Ghana coach Kwasi Appiah, retorted “Why not?” when asked if he would love to play for the three-time African kings.

“Nigerians are passionate about football. They love football like we Ghanaians and you know that rivalry will be there forever,” he told completesportsnigeria.

“If FIFA changes their law today and I have the chance to play for Nigeria I will gladly do that. I won’t think twice before accepting the offer.

“There are a lot of talented players in the Super Eagles and it will be great to be part of a great team.”

On the continued snub by the Black Stars, Dauda says he is not pertubed but hopes he would be recalled to the team.

He said, “the most important thing now is to continue to do well for my club. It is when you do well for your club that you will possibly be recognised by your country.

“The media and the federation in Ghana are monitoring my performance here and if the coaches deem it fit they will invite me.”
