Equatorial Guinea's 2023 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) Golden Boot winner, Emilio Nsue, has unleashed a severe attack on the Equatorial Guinea Football Federation.
The veteran forward, who emerged as the tournament's top goal scorer with five goals, has condemned the Federation's handling of the national men's football team's campaign in Cote D’Ivoire.
Despite his stellar performance, Nsue's criticism comes on the heels of Equatorial Guinea's disappointing round of 16 exit to Guinea, a match in which he missed a crucial penalty kick.
Taking to Instagram, the Intercity FC player aired a series of grievances against his country's football governing body, highlighting alleged shortcomings and mismanagement.
“Before the match against Nigeria, the players did not have any outfits ready. The equipment used in the national team is paid by the players and not the Federation," he said.
“The FA threatened certain local players and taking money from them but I said, no and this is unfair and they humiliated me and thrown me out. The National team is above everything and everyone.
“They want to change the sports project and bring in Brazilians. You are shameless, we are the tenth best team on the African continent. They take money everywhere, they owe us money and they are stealing it.
These cancerous and corrupt people who manage football in Equatorial Guinea took 1 million euros for themselves by leaving the national team in bad conditions. The only congratulations I received when I got my top scorer award came from the Ivorian authorities. My country has been ungrateful to me,"
