Patrick Nwadike chooses Haiti over Nigeria and Denmark following senior call-up

According to a report by All Nigeria Soccer, tri-national defender Patrick Nwadike has ended speculation regarding his international career by choosing to represent Haiti.

The 28-year-old Spartak Trnava centre-back, born in Denmark to a Haitian mother and a Nigerian father, was named in Spanish coach David Badía’s 25-man squad for Haiti’s upcoming Concacaf Nations League quarter-final against the United States.​

Nwadike received his first senior call-up following an injury to FC Lugano centre-back Hannes Delcroix, who remains unavailable due to a right thigh flexor issue.

Because the Concacaf Nations League is a competitive fixture, featuring against the United States will officially tie Nwadike to Haiti, ruling him out of future contention for both Denmark and Nigeria’s Super Eagles.

If he makes his debut, the former Landskrona BoIS and IK Sirius player will follow former Chelsea winger Emmanuel Sarki, who also represented Haiti after playing for Nigeria at youth level.
