CAN 2025 : Victor Osimhen sur le départ ? La vérité éclate après la rumeur

A persistent rumor has been circulating on social media in recent hours, claiming that Victor Osimhen has withdrawn from the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations . Faced with the scale of the speculation, the Nigerian Football Federation (NFF) quickly broke its silence to formally deny any intention of the Super Eagles' star striker leaving.

The controversy stems from a tense moment during a recent Nigeria match , in which Osimhen, despite delivering a commendable performance, appeared upset before requesting to be substituted. These images were enough to fuel hasty interpretations, with some suggesting he had prematurely left the Nigerian camp.

In a statement relayed by local media, NFF officials reassured everyone that Victor Osimhen is still with the Nigerian national team and is continuing the competition as planned. The incident in question was reportedly handled internally and had no impact on the player's participation in the tournament.

According to the coaching staff, it was primarily an emotional exchange linked to the intensity of the match , in a context of high competitive pressure. No major conflict or disciplinary issues were reported, and the player continues to train with the group.

This clarification puts an end to a wave of misinformation that quickly gained momentum. A pillar of the Nigerian attack, Victor Osimhen remains a key element in the Super Eagles' ambitions , as they are determined to go far in this 2025 Africa Cup of Nations.
