Bek Napoli tak mau berlama-lama, ia kembali lagi ke lapangan untuk mengangkat trofi bersama rekan-rekannya.
Paul Biya Can't even Walk down to handover trophy on the field, FIFA President had to take it to him in the stand!

Cameron hosted the #AFCON2021 40 years later of dictator Paul Biya’s coercion leadership. He unfortunately couldn’t walk down the pavilion to hand over the trophy to Senegal the 2021 AFCON champions due to his weakened body. He is leading Cameron on remote from Europe! pic.twitter.com/27qGsr15DA

Normally, Presidents go to the podium and hand over the trophy but in this case, the #AFCON2021 trophy has been taken to Cameroon ???????? leader Paul Biya at the pavilion to hand it over. It can happen elsewhere too.

Watching them carrying the AFCON trophy to Paul Biya, so they can hand it over to him, so he can hand it back to them was the cringiest, embarrassing thing in AFCON history. Like what was that?????????♀️

Why can’t 88yrs old Biya step down & let fresh blood lead Cameroon. #AFCON2021 pic.twitter.com/GoflDemqqB
Aksi para pejabat yang terdiri dari Gianni Infantino, Patrice Motsepe dan Paul Biya ini pun mendapat kecaman terutama dari warganet di media sosial.
Para pejabat dinilai hanya merecoki penyerahan trofi milik Senegal.
Paul Biya meruapak salah satu Presiden dengan masa jabatan terlama, lebih dari 30 tahun.
Sedangkan Gianni Infantino dinilai hanya menginginkan dapat dukungan dari negara-negara Afrika soal wacana Piala Dunia yang akan dilaksanakan 2 tahun sekali.
