Rio Ngumoha International Fixtures
Rio Ngumoha, the young forward eligible to represent the Super Eagles internationally, has been actively involved in international fixtures with England youth teams and is rapidly emerging as a promising talent in world football.
Born in England with Nigerian and Guadeloupean heritage, Ngumoha holds both Nigerian and French nationalities through his parents. His international career began with England at the under-15 and under-16 levels in 2023. By October 2024, he had progressed to play for England's under-17 team and was called up for the 2025 UEFA European Under-17 Championship. On 3 September 2025, Ngumoha made his debut for England's under-19 side in a 2-0 victory over Ukraine at the Pinatar Arena.
Besides his international youth involvement, Ngumoha signed his first professional contract with Liverpool FC in 2025, where he has already made multiple senior appearances. He notably scored a 100th-minute winning goal during his Premier League debut in a 3-2 win at Newcastle United. He has also featured in the Champions League, making a substitute appearance in a win against Atletico Madrid.
Liverpool's head coach Arne Slot has praised Ngumoha's work ethic and development, highlighting how training alongside stars such as Mohamed Salah, Cody Gakpo, and Federico Chiesa benefits his growth. Ngumoha is recognized as a "skillful" and "creative forward," earning a place in The Guardian’s 'Next Generation 2024' list of best talents at Premier League clubs.
With his dual nationality and promising performances at club and youth international levels, Rio Ngumoha represents a key prospect for future senior international tournaments, with Nigeria's Super Eagles closely monitoring his international allegiance and progress.
