According to National Football Teams, Edjekpan is the youngest ever international footballer. Their records say that he played in a 2–0 loss to Angola in August 1998. He would have been 13 years and 213 days old at the time of his debut. However, RSSSF dispute the verifiability of this.[3] He was called up again after a six-year absence for Benin in 2008.[4]
