Super Eagles captain, Joseph Yobo, will play in his third FIFA World Cup finals and now has the opportunity to become Nigeria’s first ever player to have 100 international caps after he was named in the Eagles final list of 23 stars for Brazil 2014. Also going to their third World Cup are goalkeepers Vincent Enyeama and Austin Ejide. Midfield anchorman, John Mikel Obi, will only be attending his first finals after Nigeria narrowly missed qualifying for Germany 2006 and he was omitted from South Africa 2010 due to injury. Former junior international defender, Elderson Echiejile, and Olympic silver medalist, Osaze Odemwingie, who were also in South Africa four years ago, make the cut for the biggest showpiece in football, which starts on June 12.
