Super Eagles star Lookman receives 2024 Ballon d'Or nomination

Posted : 05 September 2024

Ademola Lookman, the forward for Atalanta and the Super Eagles, has received a prestigious nomination for the 2024 Ballon d'Or. This recognition highlights his outstanding performances from the past season, which have positioned him among the top football talents worldwide. Lookman’s consistent excellence for both club and country has earned him a place on the shortlist for this coveted individual award.


During the previous season, Lookman was instrumental for Atalanta, notably scoring a hat-trick that secured the Europa League title for his team under coach Gian Piero Gasperini. This remarkable achievement has cemented his reputation as a key player in European football.


On the international front, Lookman demonstrated his prowess by netting three crucial goals and providing an assist, aiding the Super Eagles' journey to the final of the 2024 Africa Cup of Nations. His contributions were vital to the team’s success under coach José Peseiro.


Lookman's impressive performances have led many to believe he is a strong candidate for the African Footballer of the Year award, with his Ballon d'Or nomination further enhancing his reputation on the global stage.


In the previous year, Napoli's Victor Osimhen won the 2023 African Footballer of the Year award and finished eighth in the Ballon d'Or rankings. Lookman now aims to build on this momentum and bring further acclaim to Nigerian football.


As the focus shifts to Lookman, there is a great sense of anticipation among Nigerian football fans, who are hopeful for another significant achievement on the international stage.


With his Ballon d'Or nomination, Lookman is set to represent Nigerian football with distinction, striving to surpass his fellow countrymen and continue his rise in the sport.
