The 25-year-old born to a
Nigerian father and Ugandan mother in England has been invited for the
Cranes’ fixture against South Sudan later this month
Hearts forward Uche Ikpeazu has described his maiden invitation to the Uganda national team as a dream come true.
Ikpeazu was among three new players invited by coach Johnathan McKinstry ahead of their 2021 Africa Cup of Nations qualifying fixtures against South Sudan on March 28 and 31.
The 25-year-old, born in London to a Nigerian father and a Ugandan
mother, has scored two goals in 23 Scottish Premiership games this
season.
Ikpeazu previously played in the English League One
with Crewe Alexandra, Port Vale, Blackpool and Doncaster Rovers, and he
has expressed his readiness to play on the international scene with
the Cranes.
“It’s always been a dream to represent my country. I thank God for
this opportunity and I’m looking forward to testing myself at
international level and hopefully achieving great things with Uganda
Cranes,” he tweeted.
