In a bid to uplift the spirits of goalkeepers in the Nigerian Professional Football League (NPFL), former Super Eagles goalkeeper Ikechukwu Ezenwa has introduced an innovative incentive program. Ezenwa, who is currently based in united States of America, aims to motivate goalkeepers across the league and acknowledge their outstanding performances.
Under this new initiative, aptly named the “Goalkeeper of the Week,” NPFL goalkeepers will receive a refreshing boost to their morale. Ezenwa has pledged to award each weekly standout goalkeeper with a generous 5,000 Naira recharge card. This move is expected to not only recognize their exceptional efforts but also serve as a small token of appreciation for their dedication between the posts.
Furthermore, the “Goalkeeper of the Year” will be handsomely rewarded with a substantial cash prize of 100,000 Naira. This prestigious title will go to the goalkeeper who consistently displays excellence and exceptional skills throughout the NPFL season, setting a benchmark for their peers.
In addition to honoring goalkeepers, Ezenwa has not forgotten the influential role that coaches play in nurturing the talent of these shot-stoppers. Thus, he has established a special category for the “Best Coach of the Year for Goalkeepers.” The winning coach will receive a commendable reward of 50,000 Naira, recognizing their efforts in shaping the next generation of goalkeepers.
This commendable initiative has already garnered attention and appreciation from the Nigerian goalkeepers football community, as it is expected to inspire goalkeepers and coaches alike to continuously strive for excellence in the NPFL. Ikechukwu Ezenwa’s dedication to the development of football in Nigeria, particularly for goalkeepers, is commendable, and his generosity will undoubtedly be a source of motivation for all involved in the beautiful game.
