The 24-year-old forward was included in Nigeria’s 23-man squad announced on Friday for the upcoming 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifying matches against Lesotho and Benin Republic.
Akor, who currently plies his trade with Sevilla, is the only fresh face in the squad released by head coach Eric Chelle.
The La Liga side celebrated the call-up on their official X handle, posting:
