Camp Pro FC’s Godfrey Joseph made headlines across Nigerian football after delivering a moment of magic both on and off the pitch. Following his team's qualification for the NLO playoffs in their final Nationwide League One (NLO) fixture, Joseph paid tribute to Barcelona wonderkid Lamine Yamal by replicating his now-famous trophy celebration.
The gesture has since gone viral across social media, earning the midfielder the nickname “Lamine Yamal of Camp Pro FC” — making him the first Nigerian player to mirror the celebration on a professional platform.
Speaking after the match, Joseph explained the deeper meaning behind the tribute:
“The celebration means a lot to me. It is a hope-raiser. It is me envisioning myself there, even while I am still here. Every win, no matter how small, deserves to be celebrated uniquely. Today, I play in the NLO, a third-division league, but who knows what tomorrow holds?”
The celebration was more than a copy—it was a statement of belief. In a league where raw talent often goes unnoticed, Joseph’s moment stands as a symbol of ambition and self-belief.
As the football world continues to share the clip, fans and dreamers alike are encouraged to amplify the story. Tag Lamine Yamal. Celebrate the journey. Because sometimes, the path to greatness begins with one bold celebration.
