I still can't believe i'm playing for Super Eagles
“We are such a big country, we believed we could do well but unfortunately we lost to Egypt. So, we were unable to qualify for the African Cup of Nations,” he said.
“Qualifying for the World Cup is the biggest one and everyone would want to participate in it.”
Iwobi revealed that he had not yet recovered from the pleasant surprise of been an integral part of the Super Eagles of Nigeria early in his career.
“I will love to be at the World Cup too but right now, playing for my national team, I am still amazed,” he said. “To play in the World Cup will be a great feeling… to be able to play among world class players.”
From 2011, Iwobi played regularly for the England Under 16, Under 17 and England Under 18 national teams, however he chose Nigeria for the full national team and Iwobi made his Super Eagles debut on October 8, 2015, replacing Ahmed Musa in the 57th minute of a 2-0 friendly defeat to DR Congo in Vise, Belgium.
