There were no Nigerian players, coaches or teams in the Ballon d’Or nominee shortlists released on Tuesday.
Last year, Super Falcon’s Chiamaka Nnadozie made the cut for the Women’s Yachine Trophy (Goalkeeper of the Year).
The coach of the team, Justine Madugu, was also nominated for the Women’s Team Coach of the Year.
This came a year in which the Falcons won a record-extending 10th Women’s Africa Cup of Nations, WAFCON, title in Morocco.
