Super Eagles’ duo of Moses Simon and Akinkunmi Amoo failed to make the final list of nominees in CAF 2022 footballer of the year.
France-based Simon, who plays for FC Nantes, and Amoo of Danish side FC Copenhagen, were the only Nigerians to make the initial list.
The list was released by the Confederation of African Football (CAF) on June 30.
But when the final list came out on Monday, the two players were not part of the elite African performers in the last few months who made the top list.
Simon was listed among nominees in the initial shortlist for player of the year award, while Amoo was listed for the young player of the year award.
CAF Awards 2022 will be held in Rabat, Morocco, on July 21.
