Ademola Lookman, Chiamaka Nnadozie and the Super Falcons made Nigeria proud yesterday at the 2024 Confederation of African Football (CAF) Awards, which just concluded at the Palais des Congrès in Marrakech, Morocco. Ademola was named Africa’s Player of the Year after an amazing year with Atalanta and the Super Eagles, while Chiamaka was once again recognised as the Best Goalkeeper in Africa for her outstanding performances with Paris FC and Nigeria’s women’s team.
This year, Ademola Lookman has had a remarkable run of successess that led to this win. He played a key role in Atalanta’s historic UEFA Europa League victory, scoring a hat-trick in the final to secure the club’s first trophy in 61 years. He also played a significant role in Nigeria’s journey to the Africa Cup of Nations final in Côte d’Ivoire, where the Super Eagles finished as runners-up.
