The African Cup of Nations (AFCON) 2023 has set the stage for passionate football fans, sparking excitement and emotions right from the start.
The tournament officially commenced on Saturday night, January 13, 2023, in Ivory Coast, marking the beginning of thrilling matches and captivating moments.
While the focus is on the football action on the pitch, off-field stories often capture attention.
Victor Osimhen‘s girlfriend, Stefanie Kim Ladewig, recently made headlines with her public support for Cameroon over Nigeria.
This declaration came just before Nigeria’s crucial Group A opener against Equatorial Guinea.
Taking to her Instagram stories, Stefanie shared a video of the Indomitable Lions in a joyful moment, captioning it with four Cameroon flags.
This show of support for Cameroon, her mother’s homeland, stirred conversations among football enthusiasts, as many see international tournaments as a time to rally behind their national teams.
Stefanie’s allegiance to Cameroon is rooted in her family background, as her mother, Sarah Agbortabi, hails from Kumba, Cameroon, while her father is of German descent.
The public display of support for Cameroon holds personal significance for Stefanie, especially considering the emotional tribute she penned in December 2018 following her mother’s passing, where she described her mother as ‘a living angel’.
As AFCON 2023 continues to unfold, the tournament not only showcases football talent but also sheds light on the personal stories and connections that shape the players’ lives off the field.
