Taiwo Awoniyi: Super Eagles star teams up with France Ambassador to Nigeria ahead of Paris Olympics

There is news about Super Eagles of Nigeria star Taiwo Awoniyi.

The 26-year-old forward is trending for his activity off the pitch.

Awoniyi showcased his encounter with the French Ambassador to Nigeria on social media.

Awoniyi was beaming and sporting a white shirt when he posed with the ambassador.

Along with the photos was a message that said, "Adding to @FranceInNigeria’s partnerships in sports, Chargé d’Affaires Jean François Hasperue welcomed Taiwo Awoniyi of @ng_supereagles, along with representatives from 🇫🇷 clubs @fcnantes, @dfco_officiel, @parisfc, & @nimesolympique discussions on partnership opportunities in 🇳🇬 football."

Awoniyi is anticipated to work with France going forward as they prepare to host the Olympics in Paris in 2024.

The Super Eagles squad that placed second at the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) in Cote d'Ivoire did not include Awoniyi.

For the next 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers against the Squirrels of the Benin Republic and the Bafana Bafana of South Africa, he has not received an invitation from Finidi George, the new head coach.

In a viral video, Awoniyi is seen taking part in domestic house activities despite his star football status.

Captured by someone at a gathering in the house, Awoniyi clears up plates and cups used while eating by guests.

This gesture was applauded by those at the occasion and the video captured went viral.

The humility of Awoniyi comes after he was recently unveiled as a brand ambassador for the Dettol brand in Nigeria.
