Ivorian Football Legend, Drogba Hails Osimhen, Oshoala On CAF Awards

Cote d’Ivoire legend, Didier Drogba has celebrated Victor Osimhen and Asisat Oshoala on their triumph at the CAF Awards 2023.

RovingNaija News had reported that Osimhen was named CAF Men’s Player of the Year for 2023, while Oshoala claimed the Women’s version.

Napoli striker, Osimhen becomes the first Nigerian to win the award in 24 years.

Drogba took to the social media to felicitate with the duo and Nigeria.

“Long live the new King and Queen of Africa @victorosimhen9 @asisat_oshoala @caf_onlineCongratulations my Nigerian People, we are waiting for you in January @afcon_2023,” the former Chelsea star wrote on his X handle.
