Watch: Victor Osimhen and Alex Iwobi party hard after Finidi’s exit

Finidi George named Victor Osimhen and Alex Iwobi in his 23-man squad list ahead of the 2026 World Cup qualifiers which Osimhen withdrew due to injury

Two Super Eagles stars, Victor Osimhen and Alex Iwobi, have been spotted enjoying their off-season in different locations as their coach, Finidi George, exits the role, Soccernet.ng reports.

Many football players—Frank Onyeka, Raphael Onyedika, Victor Boniface, others—are making the most of their summer break after a long season with their clubs.

In a recent video, Osimhen, who recently found himself at the center of an online fuss, appeared unconcerned with the repercussions as he was seen partying and throwing cash in a club.

Meanwhile, in another location, Fulham star Iwobi, whose passion for music mirrors that of his uncle Austin Jay-Jay Okocha, was spotted rapping in a club.

Watch the video here:

Osimhen’s online outburst followed a report suggesting that Finidi accused him of faking an injury before Nigeria’s 2026 World Cup qualifiers against South Africa and Benin Republic.

In response, the 25-year-old striker took to social media to address the situation, using displeasing language towards Finidi who aa at that time was still the head coach of Super Eagles.

Nigerian football fans have been demanding an apology from Osimhen, as it has been reported that Finidi did not make such accusations. However, the Napoli forward has yet to issue an apology and appears to be enjoying his holiday instead.
