ADO Den Haag Starlet Ebuehi : I Do Not Know Nigerian National Anthem

Published: March 05, 2017

ADO Den Haag right wing-back Tyronne Ebuehi has eighteen more days to learn how to sing the Nigerian National Anthem before a potential debut against Senegal.

The defender has pleasantly surprised to check his mailbox last week and there was an invitation from the Nigeria Football Federation to travel for matches against Senegal and Burkina Faso in London.

Ebuehi was first called up to the national team last October for the World Cup qualifier against Algeria but he turned down the invitation so as to establish himself in the first team squad of ADO Den Haag and has been in contact with coach Rohr.

“Four years ago I played for an amateur club and now I’m invited to the national team, ” said Ebuehi to omroepwest.nl.

“That of course always gives some confidence. But you have to prove yourself. Now the call-up has finally come officially. That’s a nice reward.

“ "I don’t know the national anthem. I still have to practice it, but that should be fine.”

The 21-year-old Ebuehi played for the youth teams of DSOV, SV Hoofddorp, Young Boys and HFC EDO before signing his first professional contract with ADO Den Haag in May 2014.
