Ogunjimi, ANFASSC rock The Valley as Super Eagles march into Unity Cup final

Nigeria's most passionate supporters club turns London into Lagos as Eagles crush Zimbabwe 2-0.

When the drums started at The Valley Stadium in Charlton, London, everybody in that ground knew Nigeria had arrived. Not just the Super Eagles — but their heartbeat, their backbone, their loudest cheerleaders. The Authentic Nigeria Football and Allied Sports Supporters Club (ANFASSC) showed up in full force on Tuesday evening, and the Super Eagles responded with a commanding 2-0 victory over Zimbabwe to book their place in the 2026 Unity Cup final.

ANFASSC KEPT THEIR PROMISE

Before a ball was kicked, ANFASSC National President Prince Abayomi Ogunjimi had made a vow. He said: "Our drums, trumpets, voice and spirit are ready. The players should expect maximum support from us." On Tuesday night at The Valley, that promise was honoured in spectacular fashion.

From the moment the teams walked out, the ANFASSC delegation — who had flown in from Nigeria specifically for this tournament — transformed their section of the stadium into a carnival of green and white. Drums thundered. Trumpets blared. Voices rose. The energy was infectious, the kind of support that reminds footballers they are not alone on that pitch.

This is what ANFASSC does. This is who ANFASSC is.

A NIGHT LONDON WILL NOT FORGET

The Super Eagles, inspired by the wall of noise behind them, put on a show worthy of the occasion. Debutant Femi Azeez scored twice — the first after just five minutes, the second in the second half — to seal a dominant 2-0 win over a Zimbabwe side that had frustrated Nigeria three times in a row. Even without big names like Victor Osimhen, Ademola Lookman and Paul Onuachu, the Eagles flew.

And through every moment of that performance, ANFASSC was there. Celebrating every attack. Lifting the team through every tight spell. Being, as Prince Ogunjimi always says, the 12th man.

OGUNJIMI LEADS FROM THE FRONT

This trip to London has once again shown the quality of leadership within ANFASSC. Prince Abayomi Ogunjimi did not send a delegation — he led one. Personally. From the flight from Nigeria to the stands at The Valley, the National President has been present, visible and committed to the cause of Nigerian football.

It is the same dedication ANFASSC showed at the last Africa Cup of Nations in Morocco. The same spirit that has accompanied the Super Eagles through every Unity Cup — a tournament Nigeria has now won all four previous editions of without a single defeat. ANFASSC has been there for all of it.

ONWARDS TO THE FINAL

Nigeria face either Jamaica or India in the Unity Cup Final on Saturday, May 30 — and ANFASSC will be ready. The drums will be louder. The shirts will be greener. The voices will carry further.

Defending champions. Unbeaten in the Unity Cup. And backed every step of the way by the most dedicated supporters organisation in African football.

This is not just a football story. This is an ANFASSC story.
