Chelsea midfielder provisionally cap-tied to England

Posted : 24 October 2023
Chelsea midfielder Ashanti Akpan made her first competitive appearance for England youth teams on Tuesday, coming on as a substitute in the Young Lionesses' 2-0 win over Greece in the opening game of the 2024 UEFA European Women's U19 Championship qualifiers.

Akpan, who has previously expressed interest in representing Nigeria or Poland, is now provisionally cap-tied to England. She will need to apply to FIFA for a one-time change of association if she decides to switch her allegiance in the future.

Akpan has been spotted wearing the Nigeria jersey on several occasions and follows a number of Super Falcons stars on social media. However, her Polish mother, Mags, has said that the Nigerian Football Federation has not contacted her about the possibility of her children representing the African side.

It is important to note that Akpan is only provisionally cap-tied to England at this stage. She is still eligible to represent Nigeria or Poland if she applies for a one-time change of association and has not played a competitive game for the Lionesses.
