AFCON 2025: Victor Osimhen vows to win best player

Super Eagles and Galatasaray striker Victor Osimhen has confidently declared his ambition to win the Best Player award at the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON). 

The Nigerian international is aiming for individual glory as he prepares for the continental showpiece.

In a recent interview with CAF, when asked who he believes will win the prestigious award, Osimhen responded with a single, confident word: “Myself.”

The Africa Cup of Nations, organized by the Confederation of African Football (CAF), is a biennial international men’s football tournament. 

The 2025 edition, officially known as TotalEnergies CAF AFCON Morocco 2025, marks the 35th iteration of this prestigious competition.

The tournament is scheduled to take place from December 21, 2025, to January 18, 2026. Notably, this edition will span across two calendar years, a first for AFCON. 

This scheduling adjustment was implemented to avoid a clash with the expanded FIFA Club World Cup.
