AFCON 2025: Victor Osimhen sends serious message to fans in Morocco

Galatasaray forward Victor Osimhen isn't wasting words, and Nigerian fans don't need him ahead of AFCON 2025 in Morocco. 

The Super Eagles' talisman has sent a clear message to supporters in Morocco: he's locked in, he's ready, and he expects to see them in the stands when Nigeria begins their AFCON 2025 campaign.

"Hi to the fans, here is Osimhen. I'm happy to be in Morocco and I can't wait for the start of AFCON. See you guys at the stadium. Ciao," the striker said in a video shared on Instagram following the team's arrival in Fez on Thursday.

Osimhen knows the sacrifices fans make to follow their team across borders, the flights, the travel costs, the time away from families, and he's promising to deliver performances worthy of that loyalty. 

"See you guys at the stadium" isn't just a casual greeting; it's a pledge that he'll give them something to celebrate when they show up.

With AFCON 2025 kicking off on Sunday and Nigeria's opening match against Tanzania set for December 23, Osimhen's message carries weight. 

He's the Super Eagles' main goal threat, the player defenders across Africa will be tasked with stopping, and the one Nigerian fans believe can lead them to a fourth continental title. 

The Galatasaray striker named in the pre-AFCON XI has carried this burden before, and his confidence suggests he's ready to do it again.

The Super Eagles will face Tanzania, Tunisia, and Uganda in Group C, with all matches taking place in Fez. 

For Osimhen, the tournament represents another chance to cement his legacy as one of Africa's greatest strikers. For Nigerian fans planning to pack the stadiums in Morocco, his message is reassurance: their talisman is ready to carry the weight of a nation's expectations on his shoulders. Now comes the hard part, delivering on that promise.
