Super Eagles and Baník Ostrava versatile right-back Abdullahi Bewene has received another call-up to the Nigeria national team ahead of the upcoming 2027 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) qualifying matches against Madagascar and Guinea-Bissau.
Sports247 reports that the talented young defender continues to earn the confidence of Super Eagles head coach Éric Sékou Chelle, who has been impressed by Bewene’s performances whenever he has been allowed to represent Nigeria.
Bewene’s latest invitation further underlines his growing importance within the national team setup, as Chelle continues to assess his options ahead of the crucial AFCON qualifying campaign.
The Baník Ostrava defender has already made two appearances for the Super Eagles in international friendly matches, gaining valuable experience at senior international level.
His versatility and ability to operate effectively at right-back have made him an attractive option for the national team, while his continued development at club level is expected to further strengthen his credentials.
Bewene is gradually establishing himself as one of the promising young defenders in the Super Eagles setup, and another opportunity to train and compete alongside more experienced internationals will provide further exposure as he seeks to cement his place in the squad.
With Nigeria preparing for important qualifying fixtures against Madagascar and Guinea-Bissau, Bewene will be hoping to impress Chelle during the camp and potentially earn more minutes in competitive international football.
The latest call-up represents another positive step in the young defender’s international career and signals the trust Chelle continues to place in his abilities.
