Ahmed Musa: Super Eagles captain celebrates Eid al-Adha holiday

Super Eagles of Nigeria captain Ahmed Musa is back among the trends on social media.

On Wednesday, June 28, 2023, Musa joined several Muslims around the world in the holiday celebrations.

The 30-year-old Musa took to his official social media platforms to celebrate the special occasion.

In the photo, Musa is seen wearing a Brown overall agbada attire to go with black suede shoes and traditional headgear.

Along with the photo was a message that said, "Eid Mubarak."

During times of holy festivals like Eid al-Fitr and Eid al-Adha, the Muslim religion traditionally uses the greeting "Eid Mubarak." 

In the Muslim community, using the Eid Mubarak greeting is a customary way to welcome someone or express joy on Eid.

Musa's celebration comes after showing up for the national football team during the international break.

The Sivasspor forward was invited to the Super Eagles by Head Coach Jose Peseiro but did not feature as they recorded a 3-2 win against Sierra Leone at the SKD Stadium, Monrovia.

The victory means the Super Eagles have now qualified for the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) in Ivory Coast next year, with a game against Sao Tome and Principe left to play.

Musa will now be going to yet another AFCON despite criticism of his continued inclusion in the Super Eagles.

Musa's celebration comes after he made a massive donation to students at his school following his return to the country.
