Victor Osimhen Finally Spotted In Super Eagles 2023 AFCON Camp
Nigerian talismanic forward, Victor Osimhen has finally been seen training at the Super Eagles 2023 AFCON camp after a long wait.
Victor Osimhen wasn’t in the camp when it opened in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates on Tuesday, January 2, 2024, even though he wasn’t in Napoli’s squad that drew 0-0 with Monza on December 29.
The last time Victor Osimhen played for Napoli was on December 23 against Roma. Funny enough, he got red-carded in the 86th minute as Roma defeated Napoli 2-0 at the Stadio Olimpico.
Osimhen received the red card days after he signed a contract extension with Napoli after a series of back-and-forths.
Days after he was shown a red card, Osimhen was seen in a club partying with friends including his national teammates, Victor Boniface and Kenneth Omeruo. It was gathered that the party was to celebrate his 25th birthday on December 29.
Earlier today, January 5, his first picture in the Super Eagles training camp surfaced on social media for the first time since the AFCON preparations started in UAE. He was seen smiling while walking beside his best friend on the team, Samuel Chukwueze of AC Milan.
Naija Latest Gist gathered that the picture was taken last night after his first training session since he arrived at the camp on Thursday, January 4.
Victor Osimhen who finished the 2023 AFCON qualifiers as the highest goalscorer is seen as Nigeria’s most reliable player ahead of the tournament which will take place from January 13 to February 11 in Ivory Coast.
Super Eagles and Chippa United goalkeeper, Stanley Nwabali, has been dealt a devastating blow, losing his mother barely two months after the passing of his father.
Nwabali shared the heartbreaking news on X on New Year’s day, writing, “Rip mom, worst year of my life already” accompanied by tears and heartbreak emojis.
This emotional post came just hours after he shared a 2024 recap video, expressing optimism for the new year.
“2024 was a good year, we’re doubling everything in 2025. Thank you Chippa United FC. Thank you Super Eagles. Thanks to all my fans. Let’s do more!” he had written earlier.
Nwabali’s father died in November, just hours after the goalkeeper helped the Super Eagles secure a crucial point in their 2025 Africa Cup of Nations qualifier against Benin Republic.
The goalkeeper’s bravery on the field was evident as he manned the goalpost despite his personal loss.
His teammates, fans, and well-wishers rallied around him, offering condolences and support.
With the loss of both parents, Nwabali joins the likes of Victor Osimhen, who has also experienced the pain of losing both parents.
Real Madrid forward, Kylian Mbappé, shared a rare glimpse of his personal life during an interview with Mouloud Achour on Clique.

On romantic love, Mbappé revealed to Le Parisien: “Yes, in the past, I have already been in love and I hope that I will be again. But currently, no.”
