Victor Osimhen's girlfriend has made her allegiance at AFCON 2023 as clear as the blue sky. The African Cup of Nations (AFCON) 2023 has already ignited intense emotions and thrill among football fans.
The tournament kicked off officially on Saturday night, January 13, 2023, in Ivory Coast.
While the opening game delivered, the lives of the footballers off pitch tends to make the headlines.
Victor Osimhen's girlfriend, Stefanie Kim Ladewig, seemed to have apparently snubbed Nigeria in favour of supporting Cameroon ahead of the Super Eagles' crucial Group A opener against Equatorial Guinea on Sunday.
Stefanie Ladewig took to social media to declare her support for Cameroon, her mother's country, just ahead of Nigeria's opening group A game against Equatorial Guinea.
Taking to her Instagram stories, she posted a video of the Indomitable Lions sharing a cheerful moment as they returned to their hotel after their second training session in Ivory Coast capital, Yamoussoukro.
Ladewig, one of the most beautiful Wags of footballers at AFCON 2023, boldly captioned the video with four Cameroon flags, ahead of their opening Group C fixture against Guinea.
While many football enthusiasts view international tournaments as a time to unite in support of their national teams, Ladewig's public declaration has raised some eyebrows amongst fans as AFCON 2023 gets underway in Ivory Coast.
Although, Ladewig’s allegiance is understandable, considering the fact that her mother hails from the Central African country.
Pulse Sports reported that Stefanie's mother Sarah Agbortabi, hails from Kumba, Cameroon, while her father is believed to be of German descent.
However, in December 2018, Stefanie announced the sad news that she had lost her mother and penned an emotional message as a tribute to her describing her mom as 'a living angel'.

Some articles are just useless in this platform. Her declaring her affection for Cameron is understandable. How does it raise eyebrows?
It's normal cos she is Spanish but born in Argentina. If she chooses Argentina it's cos she was born there, if she chooses Spain it's cos she is of Spanish decent. Portugal because her partner is from that place. Osimhen's lady chose Cameroon cos her mother is from there. It's just logic and personal preference
