Super Eagles forward, Victor Moses has announced his
retirement from international football.
Moses who earned his first
cap in 2012 made the
announcement on Instagram. He wrote: “I would like to announce that after much
thought I have made the decision to retire from playing international football.
“I have experienced some of the best moments of my life wearing the Super
Eagles shirt and have memories with me that will last a lifetime. Nothing will
ever compete to what it felt like to represent Nigeria on behalf of our
country.
“However I feel
that now is the right time to step away in order to be able to focus fully on
club career and my young family as well as to allow the next generation of
Super Eagles stars the opportunity to step up and to flourish. We are blessed
as a nation to have so many exciting young players coming through and now is
their time.
“There are so
many highlights that stand out for me over the years; from making my debut, to
playing in two World Cups and being a part of the team to win the African
Nations Cup for first time for our nation since 1994 being just a few of them.
“I have already spoken to the manager by telephone and would like to say thank
you to him and his staff, the NFF and all of my teammates for all of their
support over the years. Most importantly I would like to say thank you to the
Nigerian people for believing in me and supporting me over the years. It’s
meant the world to me and my family and I will always be a proud Nigerian
supporting the team. “Thank you for the memories and good luck to the team for
the future”.
Moses calls time on his international career with 37
caps and 12 goals. He played in two World Cups. The highlight of his
international career was the 2013 Africa Cup of Nations triumph.
