🚨 Super Eagles Celebrate Ademola Lookman's CAF Best Award In Uyo Camp During International Break

The Super Eagles of Nigeria recently celebrated Ademola Lookman’s remarkable achievement of winning the CAF Men’s Player of the Year award.

During their training camp in Uyo, Akwa Ibom State, Lookman was honored with a specially designed cake, symbolizing the team’s pride in his accomplishment. The joyous moment was shared on Twitter by sports writer Pooja, capturing the camaraderie and unity within the Super Eagles camp.

Lookman’s CAF Best Award is a testament to his exceptional performances for both club and country over the past year. The 27-year-old forward had an outstanding season with Atalanta, scoring 18 goals and providing six assists in 32 matches across all competitions. His electrifying pace, clinical finishing, and creative playmaking were instrumental in Atalanta’s UEFA Europa League triumph, where he scored a sensational hat-trick in the final against Bayer Leverkusen. On the international stage, Lookman also shone brightly, helping Nigeria reach the final of the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) with three goals and earning a spot in the Team of the Tournament.

As the Super Eagles prepare for their international break, they have already secured a crucial 2-0 victory against Rwanda in Kigali during the 2026 FIFA World Cup Qualifiers. Victor Osimhen’s first-half brace, assisted by Lookman’s precise free-kick delivery, was pivotal in breaking Nigeria’s winless streak in the qualifiers. The team will now face Zimbabwe in their next match at the Godswill Akpabio International Stadium in Uyo, aiming to build on their momentum and keep their World Cup hopes alive.
