Azeez Credits Freedom And Positive Atmosphere For Unity Cup Success

Super Eagles forward Femi Azeez has attributed his impressive performances at the 2026 Unity Cup to the freedom given to players by the coaching staff and the positive atmosphere within the national team camp. After scoring twice on his debut against Zimbabwe and playing a key role in Nigeria's successful title defence, the winger reflected on the environment that helped him thrive.

According to Azeez, the team enjoyed a relaxed and supportive setting throughout the tournament, allowing players to express themselves confidently on the pitch. He noted that the combination of enjoyment, good vibes, and trust from the coaches made it easier for players to perform at their best.

The Millwall winger was one of the standout performers of the competition, announcing himself on the international stage with a memorable debut and quickly becoming one of the brightest discoveries of Eric Chelle's squad.

Azeez also praised his teammates for helping him settle into the squad, adding that the welcoming atmosphere within the camp played a significant role in his confidence and overall performance during the tournament.

His performances have strengthened his case for future call-ups as the Super Eagles continue preparations for upcoming international fixtures, with the coaching crew looking to build greater squad depth ahead of major competitions.
