In a proud and inspiring moment, Tosin Adarabioyo has been honoured with a special and prestigious African Illustrious Award by My Media Africa.
This recognition follows his historic achievement as the first Nigerian to win the new FIFA Club World Cup with Chelsea Football Club.
The ‘Award of Excellence and special recognition as the first Nigeria to win the club world cup’ symbolises what is possible when talent, discipline, and opportunity come together.
Adarabioyo was present at the Lekki office of the award organisers to receive the award in person on Wednesday and for him it was more than an accolade but a celebration of heritage, excellence, and global impact.
“I am very proud to have received this award and it will go down in history. Happy that I played a great part in winning the trophy and I will strive to do more in writing my name in Illustrious ways to attract an award like this” the former Man City defender said.
Interestingly, becoming a world champion is a remarkable milestone, and Tosin’s role in Chelsea’s victory, where he played four games and scored one goal has secured his place in football history.
