The announcement of the African Cup of Nations’ Team of the Tournament came on Wednesday, yet the absence of Osimhen and Nwabali was notable. Osimhen, the Napoli forward, contributed a goal in the opener against Equatorial Guinea and assisted three times during the tournament, helping his team reach the final. Nwabali, on the other hand, secured four clean sheets and played a crucial role in a penalty shootout leading to the team’s silver medal.

Fans swiftly turned to social media platforms to express their discontent. One user criticized the omission of Osimhen from the list, labeling it as disrespectful. Another user questioned the seriousness of CAF for leaving out both Osimhen and Frank Onyeka. Meanwhile, another user expressed unfamiliarity with Williams while advocating for Nwabali’s selection as a goalkeeper. Additionally, some supporters appealed for likes and retweets to demonstrate solidarity with the Nigerian goalkeeper.

In contrast to Osimhen and Nwabali, Williams and Nsue delivered impressive performances during the tournament. Williams, the South African goalkeeper, achieved five clean sheets and saved four penalties during a shootout victory over Cape Verde, contributing to his team’s third-place finish. Nsue, aged 34, showcased his prowess by scoring five goals in the tournament, including a brace against eventual champions Ivory Coast.

Both Osimhen and Nwabali will aim to move past their disappointment as they return to their respective clubs. Osimhen will resume his career in Serie A with Napoli, while Nwabali continues to play for Chippa United in South Africa.
