Super Falcons Trio, Head coach Randy Waldrum, Rivers Angels/ FC Robo striker, Monday Gift and Nigeria’s poster girl, Asisat Oshoala has made CAF’s 2022 Award shortlist which is set to hold in Morroco.
Oshoala isn’t a strange figure on the list having won four African women player of the world, the most of anyone. Monday Gift and Randy Waldrum comes newly to this inclusion.
Monday Gift is nominated in the young player of the year award category, Oshoala in the women’s player of the year and Randy Waldrum in the coach of the year category.
The awards will be held on Thursday, 21 July 2022.
The list released by CAF comprises of 10 nominees for both Women’s Player of the Year and Women’s Interclub Player of the Year.
The Women’s Young Player of the Year and Women’s Club of the Year has five nominees apiece.
Meanwhile, 10 nominees have been selected for the Coach of the Year category after taking into consideration the group phase matches at the ongoing TotalEnergies Women’s Africa Cup of Nations Morocco 2022.
The winners of each category will be decided by a voting panel made up of CAF Technical Committee, media representatives, head coaches and captains of Member Associations and clubs involved at the group stage of the Interclub competitions for the 2021/22 season.
Due to the absence of a major women’s competition during the period under review, the Organising Team for the CAF Awards 2022 has reviewed the selection process for this important category.
The TotalEnergies Women’s Africa Cup of Nations Morocco will be factored as one of the criterion in deciding a winner befitting of the status of the award and women’s football in general.
The winner will be announced on 23 July 2022 during the final match of the Women’s AFCON.
