A heartwarming video capturing the jubilant moment when Super Falcons and Barcelona forward Asisat Oshoala celebrated Victor Osimhen's victory as the 2023 CAF Men's Player of the Year has surfaced online.

In the video, affectionately known as Agba Baller, Asisat exudes infectious excitement after Victor Osimhen, the 24-year-old Napoli and Super Eagles forward, was crowned the 2023 CAF Men's 'Player of the Year' on December 11th, 2023, in Marrakesh, Morocco.

Osimhen, who plays for Napoli, triumphed by securing the highest number of votes, surpassing contenders such as Egypt's Mohammed Salah and Morocco's Achraf Hakimi to claim the prestigious individual accolade for male African footballers.

This historic win marks Osimhen as the first Nigerian to clinch the CAF Men's Player of the Year since Nwankwo Kanu in 1999. The achievement is a testament to Osimhen's remarkable 2023, highlighted by leading Napoli to their first Italian Serie A title in 30 years, scoring 25 league goals to become the league's top scorer. This feat also established him as the first African footballer to achieve such a milestone.

Osimhen's impactful contributions extended to the AFCON 2024 qualification campaign, where he emerged as the top goalscorer with ten goals. As a testament to her own prowess, Asisat Oshoala secured her sixth Women's Player of the Year Award, adding to her illustrious career achievements. The video capturing Oshoala's enthusiastic celebration reflects the camaraderie and support within the Nigerian football community.
