Former Eagles Captain Reveals How Fenerbahçe Hired Him With Fake Name and Passport'

Former Super Eagles captain Augustine Okocha reveals that Fenerbahçe issued him a Turkish passport using a pseudonym to keep it secret from Paris Saint-Germain.

Former Super Eagles captain Augustine Okocha, also known as Jay Jay Okocha, has revealed that Fenerbahçe issued him a Turkish passport under an assumed name during his two-year stint at the club to avoid being flagged by French authorities while playing for Paris Saint-Germain. The move was reportedly made to protect Okocha's international career from being affected by a citizenship issue stemming from his time with PSG. Okocha, who played for Fenerbahçe from 1997 to 1999, expressed gratitude towards the club for their support and generosity during that period. The club's actions were seen as an act of kindness, allowing Okocha to continue playing football without any complications.
