Nigeria boasts significant representation in the 2024 Best FIFA Football Awards, with four of its footballers—Ademola Lookman, William Troost-Ekong, Paul Onuachu, and Asisat Oshoala—earning nominations in various categories.

Ademola Lookman and William Troost-Ekong, key players for the Super Eagles, have been nominated for the prestigious FIFA Men’s XI Award, highlighting their remarkable contributions to football over the past year.

Lookman, known for his attacking flair, and Troost-Ekong, celebrated for his defensive prowess, represent Nigeria among the global elite.

The towering forward earned his spot on the shortlist with a spectacular goal, a strike that captured the imagination of fans and football enthusiasts worldwide.

The Puskás Award honors the best goal scored globally, regardless of competition or gender.

In women’s football, Asisat Oshoala continues to showcase her excellence.

The Super Falcons forward has been nominated for the inaugural FIFA Martha Award, a new category introduced to honor the best goal scored in women’s football.

This nomination underscores Oshoala’s status as one of the finest talents in the women’s game, celebrated for her skill, determination, and goal-scoring ability.

In a statement released on Friday, the football governing body emphasized that, for the first time, fans will have the opportunity to vote for The Best FIFA Men’s XI and The Best FIFA Women’s XI.

The addition of the FIFA Martha Award reflects a growing recognition of women’s football and its increasing global appeal.

This award, named after a legendary figure in the sport, symbolizes FIFA’s commitment to celebrating excellence in all facets of the game.

These nominations not only highlight the individual brilliance of Nigerian players but also underline the country’s growing influence on the global football stage.
