One of the most important names to ever come from that part of the world is Nwankwo Kanu. He played professionally between 1992 and 2012. He started his career in Nigerian squad Iwuanyanwu Nationale. However, he would spend only one year playing football in his native country, as in 1993 he jumped into European football.

Kanu had an incredible performance in the 1993 U-17 FIFA World Cup. In fact, he was one of the top goalscorers in the competition which was won precisely by Nigeria. The 1xBet website offers all kinds of wagers for these excellent youth competitions.

Going to Europe

Kanu’s performances in the 1993 U-17 FIFA World Cup didn’t go unnoticed. As it tends to happen, those competitions are full of representatives of different football teams from all over the world. You can make your live bets from 1xBet, which are available for the top football leagues from all across the world.

Finally, prior to the beginning of the 1993-94 season in European football, Dutch squad Ajax officially announced the signing of the Nigerian player.
