CAF Awards: Uzoho not nominated for Goalkeeper of the Year, as Mendy, Onana, and others are shortlisted

Posted : 01 November 2023
Super Eagles goalkeeper, Francis Odinaka Uzoho, has not been nominated for the annual Confederation of African Football awards in the goalkeeper of the year category. Despite not making a single appearance for his club, Omonia Nicosia, this season, Uzoho has been the preferred choice in goal for the Super Eagles under coach Jose Peseiro.

The Confederation of African Football (CAF) has unveiled the list of nominees for the upcoming awards, and Uzoho's name is notably absent from the goalkeeper category. Yassine Bounou, a Europa League winner with Sevilla, earned a nomination for helping Morocco reach the semi-finals of a FIFA World Cup. Manchester United's Andre Onana was also nominated for his role in winning Serie A with Inter Milan and reaching the UEFA Champions League final. However, he lost out to Manchester City's Pep Guardiola.

The nominated goalkeepers for the prestigious award include Egypt's Mohamed El Shenawy, Senegal's Edouard Mendy, Algeria's Oussama Benbot, and Mali's Djigui Diarra.

Concerns about the Super Eagles' goalkeeping department have been raised by Nigerians both domestically and abroad. Persistent errors by goalkeepers have contributed to the team's failure to qualify for significant tournaments, such as the 2022 FIFA World Cup.
