Bolton's Jay-Jay Okocha has revealed he will play in the African Cup of Nations, starting in January, before retiring from international football. "I'm going to the Nations Cup as it'll be my last tournament with Nigeria. After that I will retire," he said.
"It will be great to go there and finish my international career after missing a couple of the World Cup qualifiers. That will be it."
The 32-year-old added: "I have given my all to Nigeria for a very long time."
Nigeria will be aiming to show they are not a spent force in African football after failing to qualify for the 2006 World Cup.
"We are still very disappointed we are not going to Germany as we believe we have the talent but we made some errors," said Okocha. "I hope we will learn from that.
"We have a very good chance of winning the Nations Cup. That's our target."
