KOKSNATION

AFCON 2023: Ghana Media Team Blocks the Black stars from leaving the stadium. 

A group of Ghanaian media team have taken their anger to the streets as they block the exit entrance of the stadium, not allowing the Black Stars to return to their hotel. 

Following a disappointing 2-2 draw with Mozambique in the AFCON 2023 Group B game, the Black stars are not sure of making it into the Round of 16. It was almost a fairy tale run for the Ghana team when they were 1-goal up at half-time but individual errors from captain Andre Ayew and goalkeeper Ofori was enough to see Mozambique draw level at he death of final whistle. 

CAF security has called for reinforcement. The media just want to meet the team.

We are not leaving until they come.

We won’t tolerate this level of embarrassment and wastage again.

If powers won’t do, we will let them know how it feels to play for this team.

For this sole reason, the Ghanaian media team have lined up at the exit way of the stadium, blocking the team bus from transporting the players to their hotels. It's chaos in Ivory Coast and Ghanaians have called for a total overhaul of the team. 

Ghana has now been eliminated from the group stage in two consecutive AFCON tournament, a terrible record for the fur time winners.

Social Media - Nigerians come out en mass to show superiority over who owns the internet. 

Hours after Napoli won the scudetto, the Serie A official English Twitter handle tweeted a photo of legend Maradona and Napoli winger Khava Kvaratskhelia on a throne. 

The photo illustrates Maradona putting a crown on the head of the Georgian winger with caption "A new king is crowned in Naples". This singular act didn't go down with Nigerians who came out en mass to lend a support to fellow citizen Victor Osimhen who was sidelined. 

Victor Osimhen was instrumental in Napoli winning the Scudetto after 33 years with the Nigerian scoring a league golden boot record for an African with 23 goals and a stunning 8 assists during the 34 games campaign.  

Osimhen didn't only show he was their main man, his equalizer against Udinese was what sealed the title for Napoli. Napolians went berserk as they witnessed history and chants of "Osimhen, Osimhen"... filled the stadium. 

But why was the Nigerian Striker sidelined by the League officials? That was where Nigerians didn't find it funny and had the thoughts of a subtle racism to try and discredit the player whose efforts shouldn't go unnoticed. 

Follow the pictorial trends below.

About thirteen months between them, Lionel Messi led Argentina has won the Copa America, Finalissima and World Cup, a feat no South American country has ever did. 

To crown this historic effort, the CONMEBOL decided to honour the Albiceleste to a heroics welcome and give special awards to the Argentina National Team players. During the event, Lionel Messi while giving his speech, showcased the three trophies won to the audience. 

Lionel Messi: "I'm going to keep this Cup in the museum. Thank you to you, Alejandro Domínguez for this honor and for all of CONMEBOL."

Lionel Messi after being honored by CONMEBOL: "We are experiencing very beautiful moments and receiving many expressions of affection. Doing it after being champions is very special. We are very happy to bring the Cup back to South America." 

Lionel Scaloni: "Argentina wasn't just Argentina. It was all of South America that was behind it. This national team infected a lot of people with their desire to play and win. That Brazilians were happy for us shows what this national team achieved." 

In the spirit of history, the CONMEBOL also unveiled a Lionel Messi live statue that will be placed alongside legends Diego Armando Maradona and Pele at the CONMEBOL headquarters in Asunción in Paraguay. During the unveiling, Lionel Messi was given a special honourary award to mark his legendary status in South American football.

UEFA Tournaments Reformed - 2024/2025 UEFA Season begins

In case you missed it, UEFA, the body responsible for hosting club tournaments has announced a new format to its competitions – The UEFA Champions League, The UEFA Europa League and the UEFA Europa Conference League for the next season. 

UEFA President Alexsander Ceferin made this official during a UEFA committee conference in UEFA headquarters, Nyon, Switzerland. This new format will take effect from the 2024/2025 UEFA season with the following changes:

1. 36 Teams included (up from 32)

2. Group Stages are replaced by one big league table

3. Each Team plays 10 games in the first phase (5 Home, 5 Away)

4. The top eight sides in the league phase will qualify automatically for the knockout stage

5. Teams finishing 9^th -24^th place will compete in a two legged play-off to secure their path to the last 16.

While the UCL is the main focus, the UEFA Europa League and Conference League were also part of the change;

1. 8 League stage games

2. 6 games each in League stage

How will teams qualify for the UEFA tournament?

Every team will earn their place in the UCL, Europa and Conference League through team’s domestic competition performance.
