Yahia Fofana, an Ivorian goalkeeper, has caused speculation in a video going viral on the internet after something strange—dubbed “Juju” was placed around his waist during the AFON final matchup with the Super Eagles.
The video went viral online and caused people to wonder. It shows a black material tied around the goalkeeper’s waist with a white rope.
The video, allegedly taken during the match, has fueled rumors and suggestions that the black material might be a fetishistic item, possibly voodoo or juju.
The controversy has intensified as fans and observers question whether such alleged rituals could have played a role in the Ivory Coast team’s performance, particularly in the AFCON finals.
It is noteworthy that it has not independently verified the authenticity of the video.
