Nnadozie also secured a spot among the finalists for the Goalkeeper of the Year award, which she won in 2023.

In addition, Falconets’ Chiamaka Okuchukwu was listed as a contender for the Best Young Player prize.

For the Coach of the Year category, Falconets’ Chris Danjuma made the final cut, edging out compatriots Bankole Olowookere of the Flamingos and Moses Adukwu of Edo Queens, who were part of the initial nominees.

The Super Falcons are in the running for the National Team of the Year award, while Edo Queens have been nominated for Club of the Year.

These nominations highlight the continued excellence of Nigerian football on the continental stage.
