From Kogi to Europe, Sevilla's Nigerian striker Akor Adams speaks on his multicultural roots that fuel his Super Eagles dream.
Akor Adams, the 25-year-old Nigerian striker now at Sevilla FC, has opened up about his diverse upbringing across Nigeria’s heartlands, a journey that has shaped his path from local pitches to the grand stage of La Liga.
Speaking via a recent Zoom call by LaLiga in conjunction with his club, Adams clarified his multicultural heritage, describing it as a long journey.

Ola Great and Sevilla: Chimezie Paul Obi welcomes Twitter star on trial in Spain
Chimezie Paul Obi welcomes Twitter star Ola Great on trial in Spain with Sevilla first team.
“My journey is very, very long to be honest,” Adams said. “I was born in Kogi State because my dad worked there as a teacher, and I am from Benue State originally - both my parents are from Otukpa. And I grew up in Niger State.”
This rich tapestry of Nigerian life has instilled in Adams a resilience and adaptability that he now carries onto the pitch.
Adams’ move to Sevilla in January 2025 from Montpellier signalled a significant chapter in his journey. The switch came after a mixed spell in Ligue 1, where he notched three goals and one assist in 16 appearances this season, following a prolific debut campaign in France.
His earlier exploits in Norway with Lillestrom SK, where he scored 28 goals in 50 games, had already put him on the radar of European clubs, but Sevilla’s storied legacy proved irresistible.

“You don’t say no to Sevilla,” Adams said at the time of his unveiling. “It’s a club with a huge history, and I want to be part of that.”
Since arriving in Andalusia, however, Adams’ journey has hit a bump. An injury to his rectus femoris muscle, sustained just nine minutes into his Sevilla debut against Getafe in February, has sidelined him for weeks.
)
Yet, the striker remains undeterred, focusing on recovery and his club form as a springboard to his ultimate goal: a senior Super Eagles call-up.
Named in Eric Chelle’s initial 39-man squad for the 2026 World Cup qualifiers against Rwanda and Zimbabwe earlier this month, Adams didn’t make the final cut, a near-miss he views as motivation rather than a setback.
)
“For the Super Eagles, this opportunity has been building for two or three years,” he explained. “Getting into that provisional list, even while injured, shows I’m doing something right.
Adams’ multicultural roots mirror the diversity of Nigeria’s footballing talent pool, and his journey, from Otukpa’s fields and Niger’s streets to Europe’s elite leagues, embodies the grit of a Super Eagles hopeful.
)
As he nears a return to action, possibly for Sevilla’s clash in the iconic El Gran Derbi against Real Betis, Adams is poised to turn his long journey into a triumphant arrival, both in Spain and, soon, on the international stage.
