Professional footballer, William Troost-Ekong is a pivotal presence in the Nigerian  Super Eagles Team. Playing as a defender and plying his trade in one of Europe’s most competitive leagues, it is without a doubt that Troost-Ekong is rising among the ranks to take the place of past legends and household ambassadors.

Troost-Ekong went on to represent the country at the Olympics in 2016 gaining an incredible bronze medal as well as playing every single game in Nigeria’s journey and eventual qualification to the 2018 World Cup. His head-turning performances at the center of defense saw him selected in Norway’s topflight team of the year with a Norwegian Players’ Union NISO award in 2016.
