Chelsea defender Tosin Adarabioyo paid a courtesy visit to Lagos State Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu on Tuesday as part of his ongoing homecoming tour to Nigeria.
The visit comes ahead of a youth football tournament being organised in Adarabioyo’s honour, scheduled to take place on Wednesday at the Mobolaji Johnson Arena in Lagos.
During the visit, Governor Sanwo-Olu praised the 26-year-old footballer for his international success and strong ties to his Nigerian roots.
“It’s always inspiring to meet young Nigerians making their mark internationally, who remain grounded and stay connected to home,” the governor shared in a post on his official Instagram page after meeting the Chelsea centre-back.
Adarabioyo recently joined Chelsea from Fulham and was part of the squad that won the FIFA Club World Cup in the United States, where Chelsea defeated Paris Saint-Germain 3-0 in the final.
The youth tournament in Lagos is expected to attract young talents from across the state, celebrating Adarabioyo’s achievements while promoting grassroots football development.
