Super Eagles Celebrate Lookman for Winning CAF Player of the Year
Super Eagles players honored Ademola Lookman on Monday night with a cake to celebrate his win as the 2024 CAF Men’s Player of the Year. The Atalanta winger was celebrated during dinner at the team’s camp at Four Points by Sheraton Hotel, Ikot Ekpene.
Lookman won the prestigious award last December in Marrakech, Morocco, following an impressive season for both his club and the Super Eagles. Victor Osimhen, who won the award in 2023, praised Lookman and said he fully deserved the recognition.
“We all know Lookman deserved this. He’s been outstanding for both his club and the Super Eagles,” Osimhen said. “It’s a big deal that this award came to Nigeria and went to someone who truly earned it.”
Osimhen added, “I’m really proud of you. We’ve talked about this privately, and I’ve told you how proud I am that you chose to play for the Super Eagles. Your hard work and dedication have paid off.”
Lookman and Osimhen were key to Nigeria’s 2-0 win over Rwanda last Friday. They’ll be looking to make an impact again when Nigeria faces Zimbabwe today.
Captain of the Morocco national team, Achraf Hakimi, has shared his thoughts on the controversial topic surrounding AFCON 2025.
It can be noted that the team was accused of taking towels belonging to opposition goalkeepers during matches, which sparked criticism from fans and observers, with many calling for consequences.
Hakimi expressed his disappointment over the situation, stating “I don’t feel proud about the image we gave off with the towels. Even though that happened, the team did well in the competition. We showed respect for our opponents in the tournament.”
Ademola Lookman has praised Atlético Madrid following their 2–0 victory over Barcelona.
It can be noted that the match ended 2–0, with goals scored by Julián Álvarez and Alexander Sørloth.
Speaking in a recent interview, Lookman commended the team’s performance and unity “It was a good result. The performance of the team, especially not to concede here, shows the work everyone’s been doing and the togetherness.”
Young Arsenal player Max Dowman is making headlines after reaching a major milestone—becoming the youngest player to feature in the UEFA Champions League knockout stages.
The previous record was held by Lamine Yamal, who made his appearance at 16 years and 223 days. Dowman, however, has now broken that record at just 16 years and 97 days.
The youngster continues to show great promise, adding another impressive achievement to his early career.
