Nigerian football legend, Jay-Jay Okocha, was given a grand welcome by the fans of FC Fenerbahce of Turkey on Thursday December 9.
The 48-year-old superstar was also presented with a new Fenerbahçe jersey by former Arsenal star, Mesut Ozil, who is the club’s first team captain.
The recognition came just before the Yellow Canaries’ final Europa League group game of the 2021/22 season against Eintracht Frankfurt of Germany, which finished in a 1-1 draw.
In a statement, the Turkish side described Okocha, who was their former player as a “legend.”
“We hosted our legendary Nigerian player Jay-Jay Okocha at our stadium to watch Fenerbahçe’s match against Germany’s Eintracht Frankfurt at Ülker Stadium Fenerbahçe ?ükrü Saraco?lu in the 6th and last week of UEFA Europa League Group D,” the post read.
“Before the match, our captain Mesut Özil presented Okocha the number 10 Fenerbahçe jersey with his name on it. Our fans, who came to our stadium to watch the match, showed great interest to Jay-Jay Okocha with applause and cheers.”
