Both teams have made it to the final shortlist in their respective categories.
The Super Eagles reached the final of the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations earlier this year, showcasing their strength on the continental stage.
In addition to Nigeria, the other teams nominated for the Men’s National Team of the Year include the African champions, the Elephants of Côte d’Ivoire, and South Africa’s Bafana Bafana.
On the women’s side, the Super Falcons competed at the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris, France, but unfortunately did not make it past the group stage of the women’s football event.
Banyana Banyana of South Africa and the Atlas Lionesses of Morocco are also in the running for the Women’s National Team of the Year award.
The highly anticipated award ceremony will take place in Marrakech, Morocco, on Monday, December 16.
