Amara Kanu, a fashion icon and entrepreneur, took to the pitch in the Enyimba FC home kit, and her presence was a major talking point on social media.
The 40-year-old looked elegant in the kit, and her support for the team was clear to see.
After the match, Amara Kanu took to social media to express her disappointment at the result, but she also praised the team for their efforts.
Enyimba FC’s chairman, Kanu Nwankwo, was also disappointed with the result, but he said that he was proud of the team’s performance.
“We didn’t get the result we wanted, but I’m proud of the team,” he said. “They gave everything they had, and they should hold their heads high.”
