Napoli supporters have showcased their unwavering support for Victor Osimhen as they gather in Cote d’Ivoire to cheer on the Nigerian striker ahead of the Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON). Sportblog247.com reports the enthusiastic presence of Napoli fans in anticipation of Osimhen’s campaign with the Super Eagles in the continental tournament set to commence on Saturday.

Osimhen, a beloved figure in Naples, played a pivotal role in Napoli’s Serie A triumph last season, scoring 26 goals and securing the Capocannoniere prize. Despite a slower start to the current season with seven goals and two assists in 13 games, Osimhen’s focus has shifted to leading Nigeria in their quest for a fourth AFCON title.

As the Super Eagles prepare for their first game on Sunday in Abidjan, Napoli fans have followed Osimhen to Cote d’Ivoire to express their support. The Nigerian Football Federation (NFF) shared a video featuring the 25-year-old striker interacting with Napoli fans at the team’s hotel.

While Osimhen is a standout representative for Napoli at the AFCON, he is not the sole Napoli player in the tournament, as midfielder Zambo-Anguissa is also participating with Cameroon. The strong backing from Napoli fans adds an extra layer of encouragement for Osimhen and the Super Eagles as they embark on their AFCON journey.
