In the latest financial rankings for national teams released by transfermarkt, the Super Eagles experienced a significant surge in their squad’s market value. This resulted in their ascent to being the 12th most valuable international team globally and solidified their status as the most financially valuable team in Africa.
With players competing in Europe’s lucrative leagues, the Eagles now boast a total value of €465.90 million, equivalent to N465 billion based on the current exchange rate. This notable increase of €14.3 million from their previous value in October was influenced by the addition of Bayer Leverkusen midfielder Nathan Tella and outstanding performances from several players in their respective club sides.
The rise in market value was particularly propelled by Victor Osimhen, valued at €120 million and considered Nigeria’s most expensive player, followed by Boniface (€40m) and Ademola Lookman (€30m). However, injuries impacted the market value of Taiwo Awoniyi and others, leading to slight fluctuations in their worth.
Among the goalkeepers, only Maduka Okoye reached a million valuation at €2 million, contrasting with Francis Uzoho and Adebayo Adeleye at €500,000 and €400,000, respectively, while Ojo Olorunleke from Enyimba lacked a valuation on the website.
This collective increase in player values propelled Nigeria to the 12th spot globally while maintaining their position as the most valuable team on the continent. Meanwhile, other African teams like Morocco, Ivory Coast, Senegal, and Ghana witnessed shifts in their squad values, contributing to their respective rankings in the global hierarchy.
