• Odegbami won 46 caps and scored 23 goals for the Nigeria national team, which he guided to its first Africa Cup of Nations title at the 1980 tournament in his homeland, Nigeria.

Nicknamed Mathematical, he was famous for his skills on the field, speed and precision of his crosses from the right wing. He played for IICC Shooting Stars of Ibadan his entire career, from 1970 to 1984. His last game was the 1984 African Champions Cup final defeat to Zamalek of Egypt. The original source of the nickname ‘Mathematical’ was given by the FRCN football commentator, Ernest Okonkwo, for his penetrating passes.

• In June 2022, Mathematical Odegbami launched a radio station called Eagles 7 Sports Radio 103.7 FM in Nigeria.
