The Super Eagles and the Super Falcons have both been nominated for the final shortlist of the CAF National Team of the year award as the CAF awards which takes place at the Palais des Congrès, Marrakech on Monday, 16 December draws nearer.
The Super Eagles were nominated alongside AFCON 2023 winners Ivory Coast, and South Africa while the Super Falcons were nominated with Morocco and the Banyana Banyana of South Africa.
The Super Eagles were nominated due to their exploits in the AFCON which held in Ivory Coast earlier in the year, qualifying from their group and defeating Cameroon, Angola, and South Africa before losing to the hosts narrowly in the final of the tournament. They also finished top of their group in qualifying for AFCON 2025.
The Super Falcons meanwhile represented the continent in the Olympics before losing to powerhouses, Brazil, Spain and Japan in the group stages. They also defeated Algeria in a double-header friendly in October before losing to France 2-1 in their last game of the year.
