The Authentic Nigeria Football and Allied Sports Supporters Club (ANFASSC) sent a delegation from Nigeria to watch the 2026 London Unity Cup semi-final at The Valley in Charlton last night, where the Super Eagles overcame Zimbabwe 2-0 to book their place in Saturday\u2019s final.<\/p>\n
ANFASSC National President Prince Abayomi Ogunjimi led the trip personally, travelling with the group from Nigeria and taking his seat in the stands at The Valley as the match got under way. From the moment both sides emerged, his direction helped turn the supporters\u2019 presence into what he described as a \u201ccarnival of green and white,\u201d drawing notice across the stadium.<\/p>\n
Throughout the 90 minutes, Nigeria\u2019s efforts were matched by the energy of the ANFASSC section, with drums, trumpets and sustained chanting forming a constant backdrop. Ogunjimi had set that tone before kick-off, telling supporters that \u201cour drums, trumpets, voice and spirit are ready,\u201d and that the players should \u201cexpect maximum support from us.\u201d He added that the aim was to function as, in his words, \u201cthe 12th man.\u201d<\/p>\n
On the pitch, debutant Femi Azeez proved decisive, scoring both goals for Nigeria in the fifth minute and again in the 63rd minute. It capped a notable night for the Super Eagles against a Zimbabwe team that had previously managed to frustrate them in three earlier meetings. Entering the tournament as defending Unity Cup champions, Nigeria have now won all four previous editions without tasting defeat.<\/p>\n
The London trip continues ANFASSC\u2019s established habit of travelling in force, with the club\u2019s backing also seen at the Africa Cup of Nations in Morocco. Ogunjimi said the organisation has stayed by the Super Eagles through every Unity Cup campaign since the competition began.<\/p>\n
ANFASSC confirmed that it will remain in London for Saturday\u2019s final. Nigeria\u2019s next opponents will be decided tonight in the second semi-final at The Valley, featuring Jamaica and India.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
