Asisat Oshoala, Ademola Lookman, William Troost-Ekong, and Paul Onuachu are the four Nigerians up for the Best FIFA Awards 2024.
Lookman is up for Best Attacker, and he plays for Atlanta.
Even though he placed fourteenth in the Ballon d'or, the 27-year-old is a heavy favorite to be named the CAF Men's Player of the Year.
Troost-Ekong, a fellow countryman, is one of the finalists for Best Defender.
Early this year, in Cote d'Ivoire, the center back was voted the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations Most Valuable Player (MVP).
The best goal of the year is recognised with the Puskas Award, and Onuachu, a forward, is one of the candidates.
While on loan at Trabzonspor, the 30-year-old scored a goal against Konyaspor on November 10, 2023, in the 2023-24 Super Lig. His goal was nominated.
Oshoala, a forward for the Super Falcons, has received a FIFA Marta award nomination.
A new prize has been instituted to recognize the most outstanding annual goal.
