At Stadion Lokomotiv in Plovdiv, Kaye Tamuno Iyowuna Furo demonstrated his value to the Belgian squad by scoring an equalizer in the 84th minute against Bulgaria on Wednesday.
The Club Brugge prodigy came off the bench to secure a 1-1 draw as the UEFA U19 Championship Qualifiers commenced.
Kaye replaced Nicolas Verkooijen at halftime.
At just 17 years old, he is the son of Iyenemi Furo, a notable player for the Super Eagles during the 2000 Africa Cup of Nations, where he played in four of the six matches for Nigeria.
In the same year, Iyenemi also competed as an Olympian, participating in two games for the Dream Team II at the 2000 Olympic Games in Australia.
Kaye has represented Belgium at the U15, U16, and U17 levels on the international stage.
He became provisionally cap-tied to Belgium on March 20, 2024, after coming on as a substitute for another Nigerian descent forward, Chike Van De Ven, during a European Championship qualifier against Finland.
Prior to his move to Club Brugge in July 2024, Furo made 23 league appearances for Club Brugge II, netting five goals and assisting twice.
