AFCON 2025
It’s that time of the year when footballers visit their grassroots coach, friends teammates, old football pitch, or training ground.
It’s a long-standing tradition, especially among African players, as they connect with where they started their career before stardom.

The 2013 AFCON winner laced his boots and stepped onto the brown “turf” to recreate the memory.
Ahmed Musa shared the memory on his X page and captioned it as “Where it all started J Town #home”.
As expected, the presence of the Super Eagles legend attracted people who came to watch him play football from close range.
Ahmed Musa started his professional career with Jos University Teaching Hospital Football Club (JUTH FC) before moving to Kano Pillars where he finished as top scorer of the league with 18 goals in 2010.
Ahmed Musa has played for a couple of clubs in Europe though out his throughoutreer.
The 32-year-old forward currently plays for Kano Pillars in the Nigeria Premier Football League.
