Fisayo Dele-Bashiru at AFCON

2nd January 2026

Nigeria called. Fisayo answered.

On the AFCON stage, where pressure sharpens every touch and expectation weighs heavy, Fisayo Dele-Bashiru stepped in with clarity. No hesitation. No adjustment period. Just impact. An assist in a 3–1 victory over Uganda, delivered with the kind of composure that travels well at international level.

This is what readiness looks like. Trusted by the staff. Involved in the rhythm of the game. Effective when it mattered. Fisayo didn’t just feature—he influenced. The assist wasn’t luck or impulse. It was timing, awareness, and confidence built long before the whistle blew.

AFCON doesn’t reward passengers. It rewards players who can think clearly when the tempo rises. Fisayo showed exactly that. Calm in possession. Sharp in decision-making. A presence that justified the call and reinforced belief.

For WNRS, this is the standard. Preparation meeting opportunity on one of the biggest stages in the game. Fisayo’s contribution is only the beginning, but it sets the tone—more responsibility, more influence, more wins to chase.

Nigeria’s journey continues. So does his.
