Nigeria has secured its place among the final three shortlists for the prestigious 2023 CAF Women’s National Team of the Year award. CAF disclosed the exciting news on their official platform, revealing that Nigeria will contend with powerhouse rivals South Africa, the reigning Women’s Africa Cup of Nations champions, and Morocco.
This recognition follows the trio's impressive performance at the FIFA Women's World Cup in Australia and New Zealand, where they all reached the round of 16 in a tournament ultimately claimed by Spain.
The winner is slated to be unveiled on Monday, December 11, in the vibrant city of Marrakech, Morocco. Adding to the national fervor, Nigeria's Super Falcons recently secured their spot in the 2024 WAFCON, hosted by Morocco.
The Falcons dominated with a commanding 7-1 aggregate win against Cape Verde, marking their 13th appearance in the tournament that commenced in 1998 on Nigerian soil.
As anticipation builds for the CAF awards ceremony, Nigeria's women's football team continues to elevate its standing on the continental stage, embodying the resilience and prowess that have become synonymous with the Super Falcons.
