In commemoration of the 2021 African day, Confederation of African Football, CAF has recognized the display of the Authentic Nigeria Football and Allied Sports Supporters Club as an African Football culture.
The Authentic Nigeria Football and Allied Sports Supporters Club stole the show with its colorful display while supporting Nigeria at the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations where the Super Eagles finished third.
This is not the first time the supporters club is getting continental recognition, ANFASSC made it to the internet content of CAF during the 2019 Cup of Nations in Egypt.
A picture of the Senegalese National team in celebration mood, as well as the South African National team among others, were also displayed by CAF to celebrate the African day.
The day, formerly known as African Freedom Day and African Liberation Day is the annual commemoration of the founding of the Organisation of African Unity.
The theme of this year’s Africa Day is Arts, Culture, And Heritage: Levers for Building Africa We Want.
National President of ANFASSC, Prince Abayomi Ogunjimi said CAF’s recognition is a charge for Authentic Nigeria Football and Allied Sports Supporters Club to sustain the quality in all spheres
“It means a lot to us at ANFASSC, we are really excited and we join the rest of the continent to celebrate the Africa day, it’s an admonition for us to always ensure we put in the right effort with the right personnel everywhere we go”
ANFASSC is expected to be on duty to support the Super Eagles when the 2022 FIFA World Cup qualifiers take center stage in September
