Prince Wanogho: The 'Nigeria Prince' who won his first Super Bowl

Nigerian-born American football NFL player Prince Tega Wanogho became a Super Bowl champion after his Kansas City Chiefs beat Philadelphia Eagles in the NFL finals on Sunday, February 12.

Kansas City beat Philadelphia Eagles 38-35 to hand the Phillies three straight defeats in a sports championship final.

For Wanogho, it was a victory over his former side after joining Kansas City Chiefs from the Philadelphia Eagles in 2020.

It was also the 25-year-old first NFL title following his team's triumph in what was the 57th triumph of the Super Bowl at the State Farm Stadium in Glendale Arizona.

Wanogho was born in Delta State, Nigeria and moved to Alabama in 2014 in hopes of becoming a basketball player.

He played college football at Auburn and was drafted by the Philadelphia Eagles in the sixth round of the 2020 NFL Draft.
