AFCON 2025: Osimhen, Ndidi, three others leave Super Eagles camp after Egypt victory
Victor Osimhen, Wilfred Ndidi, Paul Onuachu and Chidozie Awaziem have exited the Super Eagles camp after Nigeria’s 4-2 penalty win over Egypt at AFCON 2025.
At least four Super Eagles players have departed the team’s camp following Nigeria’s win over Egypt in the third-place playoff at the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations.
Victor Osimhen, Wilfred Ndidi, Paul Onuachu and Chidozie Awaziem all returned to their respective European clubs after the encounter.
Osimhen, Ndidi and Onuachu currently ply their trade in Turkey, while Awaziem is based in France.
The quartet reportedly left Casablanca aboard a private jet shortly after the match.
Their early departure means they will miss the AFCON award ceremony scheduled to take place after Sunday’s final, as bronze medals were not presented on Saturday.
Nigeria defeated Egypt 4-2 on penalties after the playoff ended goalless in regulation time, securing third place.
The result marked the ninth time the three-time African champions have finished the tournament with a bronze medal.
