Sevilla have welcomed back Nigerian internationals Akor Adams and Chidera Ejuke after their participation with the Super Eagles at the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations, where they secured a bronze medal, Afrosport reports.
The Spanish side acknowledged their return following Nigeria’s successful conclusion to the tournament, which saw them defeat Egypt 4–2 on penalties in the third-place playoff. The victory marked Nigeria’s ninth bronze medal finish in AFCON history.
