Steven Archibong Effiong Ukoh, former Swiss U-20 international , has been cleared by the World football governing body, FIFA, to play for the Super Eagles at senior level. The versatile midfielder, born on June 19, 1991 to Nigerian parents in Berne, Switzerland, currently plays for Biel-Bienne FC in the European country but has now switched his nationality to Nigerian, to enable him play for Super Eagles.
The Swiss born Nigerian who is 23 represented Switzerland at U-16, U-17, U-18, U-19 and U-20 levels between 2006 and 2010, but had a change of mind thereafter and opted to wear the green-white-green at senior international level.
This is good news, just hoping that he finds his place in the National team fast.....so that he wont be disappointed.
Good news for naija football
