The 22-year-old’s impressive performance has not only caught the eye of football fans around the world but has also raised questions about his eligibility to play for the Nigerian national team, the Super Eagles.

According to reports, Noslin was born in Amsterdam to parents of Surinamese origin. However, his name, Tijjani, is of Nigerian origin, and it has been suggested that he may be eligible to play for the Super Eagles.

However, it appears that Noslin is not eligible to play for Nigeria. According to the FIFA eligibility rules, a player is eligible to play for a national team if they hold citizenship of that country, or if one of their parents or grandparents holds citizenship of that country.

In Noslin’s case, it appears that he does not hold Nigerian citizenship, and neither of his parents or grandparents are Nigerian citizens. Therefore, it is unlikely that he would be eligible to play for the Super Eagles.

It’s worth noting that Noslin’s parents are reportedly big fans of Ajax, and they named him after former Nigerian winger Tijjani Babangida, who played for Ajax in the 1990s.

While this is an interesting coincidence, it does not affect Noslin’s eligibility to play for Nigeria..Don’t Miss Out! CLICK HERE TO KEEP READING> >>>
