NEWS AS IT IS ON AFRICAN WOMEN CUP OF NATIONS(AWCON)
2016 African Women Cup of Nations (AWCON) winner with Super Falcons, Asisat Oshoala, is among five Nigerians nominated in other categories for honours at the Glo-CAF African Football Awards taking place in Abuja on January 5, 2017.
In the list released yesterday 11/12/2016 by Confederation of African Football (CAF), Oshoala was listed alongside South African Janine Van Wyk, Ghanaian Elizabeth Addo and Cameroonians Gabrielle Aboudi Onguene and Raissa Feudjio Tchuanyo for the Women’s Player of the Year.
Oshoala won the award in 2014, alongside being named Youth
Player of the Year. Cameroonian Gaelle Deborah Enganamouit was named Women’s Player of the Year 2015.
Super Eagles’ forwards, Kelechi Iheanacho and Alex Iwobi were among players nominated for honours at the Glo-CAF African Football Awards.
In the category of Most Promising Talent, Iheanacho and Oghenekaro Etebo were the only Nigerians who were listed listed, Guinean Naby Keita, Elia Meshack of DR Congo and Ramadan Soby of Egypt.
Iheanacho scored in four consecutive matches for the Super
Eagles against Mali, Luxembourg, Tanzania and Zambia, and has been impressive for his English Premiershi team, Manchester City, for whom he scored in the UEFA Champions League last week.
Etebo was the hero of Nigeria’s bronze medal feat at the Olympics in Brazil, scoring four goals in the 5-4 thumping of Japan.
The Youth Player of the Year list was headed by Arsenal of England star Alex Iwobi, who scored Nigeria’s first goal of the 2018 FIFA World Cup race, away to Zambia in Ndola in October. He contests with Ghanaians Eric Ayiah and Sandra Owusu-Ansah, Ivorian Franck Kessie and Mali U20 ace Sidiki Maiga.
Florence Omagbemi, the only person to have won the Women
Africa Cup of Nations as captain and coach, contests for Coach of the Year with DR Congo’s Florent Ibenge, Uganda Coach Milutin Sredojevic, Nacer Sandjak of CAF Confederation Cup winners MO Bejaia and Pitso Mosimane of CAF Champions League winners Mamelodi Sundowns.
Nigeria’s Super Falcons will battle for Women’s Team of the Year with Cameroon, Ghana, South Africa and Zimbabwe, while
Nigeria’s U-23 team, bronze winners at the Olympics, will tug with DR Congo (CHAN winners), Senegal, Guinea Bissau and Uganda (the last two for qualifying for 2017 AFCON). Guinea Bissau is making her debut while Uganda is back among the elites of African football after 38 years.
Sundowns, Bejaia, TP Mazembe, Zamalek and Zesco United
compete for Club of the Year, while Gambian Papa Gassama,
Egyptian Ghead Grisha and Senegalese Malang Diedhiou are in the race for Referee of the Year. Incidentally, Gassama handled the Nigeria/Algeria 2018 FIFA World Cup qualifier in Uyo while Grisha was in charge of the first qualifying match away to Zambia in Ndola.
