Udeze Questions CAF’s Decision To Omit Troot-Ekong From Africa’s Best XI

Former Nigerian international Ifeanyi Udeze has questioned CAF’s decision to snub Super Eagles defender William Troost-Ekong from the 2024 CAF Team of the Year.

Recall that Troost-Ekong had an excellent showing at the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations, where he was named the tournament’s Most Valuable Player.

He netted the opening goal in Nigeria’s 2-1 loss to Cote d’Ivoire in the final of the tournament.

In a chat with Brila FM, Udeze stated that Troost-Ekong needed no vote to be in the Africa best XI.

“Troost Ekong is the AFCON MVP; why isn’t he on the Africa best XI? 

“He doesn’t need a vote; his place should be automatic,” the one-time Greek winner said on No Holds Barred with Brila.
