Chiwendu, born in Awkuzu, Anambra State, has been playing for KS Besa since 2025 and has shown promising performances. Isaac believes Chiwendu’s inclusion in the Super Eagles would be a significant boost to Nigerian football.
The NFF has been under pressure to identify and invite talented players to represent the country. Chiwendu’s impressive performances abroad make him a strong contender for a spot in the national team.
The NFF has not yet responded to Isaac’s call, but the football community is abuzz with excitement about Chiwendu’s potential. If selected, Chiwendu would join a squad that includes stars like Victor Osimhen and Moses Simon.
As the football world waits for the NFF’s decision, Chiwendu continues to shine in Albania. His story serves as inspiration for young Nigerian footballers dreaming of making it big.
