Retired Super Eagles captain, William Troost-Ekong, has converted to Islam after reportedly reciting the Shahada in Doha, Qatar.

The 33-year-old defender, who plays for Qatar Stars League side Al-Ahli, reportedly embraced Islam in Doha, according to Qatari newspaper Al-Arab on Wednesday.

Islamic scholar, Dr Muhammad Salah, also shared a video on his verified Facebook page showing Troost-Ekong reciting the testimonies of faith.

Troost-Ekong began his career in the Arab region in 2024 when he joined Saudi Arabian club Al-Khaleej.

He later moved to Qatar, signing for Al-Ahli in January 2026 on an 18-month contract. Since then, he has made 14 appearances for the club across all competitions, including one appearance this season.
