AFCON 2025
Fulham defender, Calvin Bassey proudly repped his roots this week as he showed up to training donning the famous green jersey of the Nigerian national team.
The 24-year-old Super Eagles star, who has become a key figure at Craven Cottage since his move from Ajax, made a bold and heartwarming statement by wearing his country’s colours ahead of Fulham’s training session.
The move drew cheers on social media from both Nigerian fans and club supporters alike.
Bassey, known for his powerful runs, defensive solidity, and ball-carrying ability, has consistently shown pride in his Nigerian heritage.
With over 30 international caps since his debut in 2022, he’s become one of the most reliable names in the Super Eagles’ backline. His on-pitch synergy with teammate and fellow Nigerian international Alex Iwobi has also been a joy to watch — both for Fulham and Nigeria.
