Former Germany U-21 international Felix Agu has reacted positively to his unofficial Nigeria debut in the 2025 Unity Cup against Jamaica at the GTech Community Stadium in London.

The 25-year-old Werder Bremen wing-back started in the final of the Unity Cup against the Reggae Boys, playing 83 minutes as the Super Eagles won 5-4 on penalties after a 2-2 draw to lift the cup.

Since the Unity Cup is not recognized as an official Fifa-sanctioned competition, the Osnabruck-born defender remains eligible to represent Germany at senior level.

Speaking to Werder Bremen's official website, Agu highlighted the intensity of the Unity Cup matches, even though they were classified as friendlies: "It was a good week overall. I was given a warm welcome by the team and I’m looking forward to more chances in the future."

"It was fantastic. Even though the tournament only consists of friendlies, you could still sense the rivalry. Playing for your national team is a different feeling from club football, so I’m pleased to have made my debut and that we won in the end," he added.

Agu would become cap-tied by the Super Eagles if he features in their competitive fixtures during the September international window. Nigeria will battle South Africa and Rwanda as the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers resume across the continent.
