Super Eagles defender Calvin Bassey has shared his excitement after learning that two Fulham supporters travelled all the way from London to Fez to support Nigeria during their AFCON Round of 16 clash against Mozambique, according to Sportsblog247.com.

The fans, Abby and her father Phillip, made the journey from the United Kingdom specifically to cheer on Bassey, Alex Iwobi, and Samuel Chukwueze — Premier League stars whose club form has clearly won hearts beyond England.

Lifelong Fulham supporters, the duo were spotted in the stands proudly wearing the club’s black-and-white scarves and jackets.
Reacting after Nigeria’s commanding 4–0 victory, Bassey said the show of loyalty left him genuinely delighted.

“I’m chuffed,” the defender told Soccernet.ng. “I’m so happy. It’s amazing to see that we Nigerian boys are making such an impact on Fulham fans. We’re truly grateful for the support.”

Bassey added that the gesture meant a lot to the players and jokingly expressed hope of meeting the travelling supporters after the game.

For Abby and Phillip, their journey to Morocco was driven by pure devotion. They described Bassey, Iwobi, and Chukwueze as “the three best players on our team,” explaining that they follow the trio wherever they play — a passion that carried them from Craven Cottage to the AFCON stage in Fez.
