The 20-year-old star was instrumental as Abia Warriors secure the CAF Confederations Cup ticket
Abia Warriors star Anthony Ijoma performance in the Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL) has attracted the attention of European clubs but is also fueling his ambition to don the green and white of the Super Eagles.
The young forward’s journey began at the Argentina Football Academy, which served as a stepping stone where his raw potential was first identified and meticulously nurtured.
The academy provided the foundational training that has shaped him into the player he is today, a debt he readily acknowledges.
Returning to his homeland, Ijoma found a vital platform at Abia Warriors.
The club has provided him with the opportunity to showcase his burgeoning talent on a national stage, and he has seized it with both hands.
His consistent performances in the NPFL have not gone unnoticed, earning him admiration within Nigerian football circles and even a special nickname, "Antoine Desouza," from his mother, a nod to his growing reputation that resonates even beyond Nigeria's borders into French-speaking West Africa.
