Canada International Sam Adekugbe Aware Of Nigeria - Ghana Rivalry
Published: October 13, 2015
Ahead of Canada’s international friendly against the Black Stars of Ghana on Tuesday night at RFK Stadium, Vancouver Whitecaps fullback Sam Adekugbe is aware of the rivalry between Nigeria and Ghana and has targeted a win.
Born in London 20 years ago, Adekugbe can no longer represent Nigeria and England after making his competitive debut for the Canadians in a World Cup qualifier against Belize last month.
“I’m of Nigerian background, so it’s exciting for me to play against a rival,” Adekugbe said to mlssoccer.com.
“The Black Stars are obviously a good team, but I think it’s a chance to show how far the team’s come since Benito (Floro) has come in to coach.
“We’ll roll our sleeves up and we’ll take it on. We have nothing to lose. It’s a friendly match; we’re going to go into the game with confidence and hopefully play good football and get a good result.”
Adekugbe appeared for Canada’s Under 18 and Under 20 teams before his promotion to the senior squad.
