Super Eagles Coach to Scout Talent at Federation Cup Final in Lagos

Super Eagles head coach, Eric Chelle, is expected to be at the Mobolaji Johnson Arena in Lagos on Saturday, June 28, to watch the President Federation Cup final between Kwara United and Abakaliki FC.
The match presents a scouting opportunity for Chelle as he continues his search for fresh talent ahead of the 2024 African Nations Championship (CHAN), which is exclusive to players active in their home leagues.
Last month, the Malian coach included 10 home-based players in Nigeria’s squad for the Unity Cup in London, showing his growing interest in the local scene. Nigeria has been drawn into Group D alongside Congo, Sudan, and Equatorial Guinea for the upcoming CHAN, which will take place in August across Uganda, Kenya, and Tanzania.

Turkish Mosque Named After Osimhen Causes Anger Among Worshippers

Just days after returning to Turkey, Victor Osimhen has been caught up in an unexpected controversy. The Bulut Mosque in Konya was briefly shown on Google Maps as “Victor Osimhen Mosque,” a change that angered many worshippers.
One local, Zeki Yaylacı, called it disrespectful, saying it was wrong to name a mosque after a non-Muslim and that it insulted both the Muslim community and their places of worship. There is no indication that Osimhen had any involvement in the incident, which appears to have been caused by inaccurate user edits on Google Maps.

Nnadozie Happy as She Becomes First African Nominated for Ballon d’Or

Super Falcons goalkeeper Chiamaka Nnadozie has shared her thoughts on being nominated for the 2025 Ballon d’Or Yacine Trophy, which honours the best women’s goalkeeper in the world. The 24-year-old has made history as the first African to earn a spot on the shortlist.
Nnadozie has had a remarkable year for both club and country. She helped her former side Paris FC lift the Coupe de France Féminine in May, making a decisive save in a tense 5-4 penalty shootout win over Paris Saint-Germain.
Since joining Brighton & Hove, she has also been instrumental in Nigeria’s victory at the 2024 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations, where she was named Goalkeeper of the Tournament after keeping four clean sheets in six matches.
Speaking in a video shared on the Super Falcons’ X page, Nnadozie said the recognition means a lot to her and her family, adding that it proves her hard work, consistency, and prayers have truly paid off.
