In a landmark event, Ebenezer Harcourt has become the youngest player ever to don the Super Eagles jersey. The Sporting Lagos goalkeeper debuted for Nigeria in Tuesday’s African Nations Championship (CHAN) match against Congo, as reported by DAILY POST.
The 15-year-old marked his historic debut with a clean sheet, contributing to Nigeria’s 2-0 victory in the Group D encounter held at the Benjamin Mkapa Stadium in Dar es Salaam.
Harcourt, the first-choice goalkeeper for Nigeria’s U-20 team, the Flying Eagles, was also a member of the squad that secured third place at the 2025 Africa U-20 Cup of Nations earlier this year. He is now anticipated to join his teammates in preparation for the 2025 FIFA U-20 World Cup.
