FC Copenhagen midfielder Akinkunmi Amoo has expressed disappointment at not qualifying for the FIFA 2022 World Cup.
Amoo earned his debut senior call up for the play-off against Ghana, but was an unused substitute in both legs of the tie.
The youngster’s invitation was one of a few call ups that divided opinion before the ill-fated double header.
In a social media post where he described his experience in the Super Eagles camp, Amoo said he wished his first call up ended on a better note.
He tweeted:
Tears and pains, it wasn’t the result we wanted. We apologize for not making it to Qatar. I’m honoured for the opportunity, my joy would have been accomplished with a World Cup ticket. Life is about learning, we will bounce back from this setback. We appreciate your support
