Nigerian-born centre-back cap-tied to Faroe Islands after UEFA Nations League

Posted : 13 September 2024

Samuel Johansen Chukwudi, a promising central defender of Nigerian descent, is now officially tied to the Faroe Islands after representing them in a competitive match during the first international break of the 2024-2025 season. His debut came in a UEFA Nations League fixture against North Macedonia on September 7, which confirmed his permanent affiliation with the Faroe Islands. As a result, Chukwudi is no longer eligible to represent the Super Eagles, provided he maintains his Faroese citizenship.


Chukwudi was born on June 25, 2003, in Tórshavn, Faroe Islands, and had previously been eligible to play for Nigeria through his Nigerian father. He had already made appearances for the Faroe Islands in three friendly matches against Czech Republic, Kosovo, and Estonia before participating in his first competitive game for the national team.


Following his competitive debut, Chukwudi played another UEFA Nations League match against Latvia, increasing his total number of appearances for the Faroe Islands to five. His contributions to the team have been notable as he continues to develop in international football.


In addition to his international career, Chukwudi has been an important player for HB Tórshavn, where he has made 68 appearances for the first team and scored two goals. He also spent part of the 2022-2023 season on loan at Belgian club Royale Union Saint-Gilloise, where he played nine matches for their U23 team in the 2de Nationale ACFF.


Chukwudi’s performances in both domestic and international competitions highlight his potential and commitment to his current national team. His decision to represent the Faroe Islands has solidified his role within their squad, making him a significant asset to their defensive lineup.


With his continued development and contributions on the field, Chukwudi is poised to make further impacts for the Faroe Islands in future competitions. His journey reflects a blend of international opportunities and dedication to his national team.


As Chukwudi progresses in his career, he will be watched closely by fans and analysts alike, eager to see how his talents continue to evolve and benefit his team.
