Former captain of the South African national team, Bongani Khumalo, expressed his surprise at Uche Ikpeazu's decision to represent Uganda at the senior level instead of Nigeria.
Uche was born in London to a Nigerian father and a Ugandan mother, giving him the option to play for any of the three nations.
Khumalo, who is currently serving as a pundit for SuperSport during the Africa Cup of Nations in Morocco, stated, “I remember discussing with him about his Nigerian and Ugandan heritage.”
