Fulham bans Ivobi from using social media in locker room

News:

Fulham midfielder Ivobi revealed that the club prohibits players from using specific social media features in the locker room and threatens to impose a fine.

Ivobi is very active on social media Snapchat and often shares behind-the-scenes footage of the Fulham Club, including many exciting scenes in the locker room. He has continued this habit since his transfer from Everton to Fulham in 2023, and the videos are loved by fans. For example, he once released clips of a chorus with his former teammate Levine, showing a relaxed and pleasant atmosphere; and there was also a fight between Adama-Traure and Calvin-Bassi in the locker room, allowing fans to see the different side of the players outside the court.

However, these behind-the-scenes videos of Ivobi have suddenly disappeared recently, causing many speculations from fans. Ivobi personally explained: "For those fans who are curious about why I no longer share behind the locker room content, the reason is that some members of the media team think that the content I filmed is not appropriate." He said helplessly, "So, the behind-the-scenes footage ended. The club warned me that if I continue to shoot such content, they are trying to ban Snapchat in the locker room. Although it is a pity that I can't share this anymore, after all, everyone likes to see the behind-the-scenes status of my teammates, but I must abide by the club's regulations."

Ivobi is not the only player who is keen on sharing the daily life of the locker room through social media. Nottingham Forest star and Iwobi's Nigerian national teammate Ola-Ena also made similar moves. After the two teams clashed in February this year, Ivobi and Aina were still interacting on Snapchat. Ivobi revealed to The Athletic: "It's like a derby battle on Snapchat. After all, Ena and I grew up together, and were on the same school and on the same street. Fortunately, we beat Nottingham Forest at home and away. Ena sent a message to me not to mention him. I replied to him, 'Don't worry, you will show mercy, but you have to let you know we won'." Now Fulham's ban has forced Ivobi to stop sharing interesting things in the locker room, and fans have also lacked a window to understand the team behind the scenes.
