We assert that Ajibade’s dual recognition as Player of the Tournament and Best XI midfielder affirms her critical influence. Her creativity and calmness anchored Nigeria in moments where collective spirit mattered most.We feel that Nnadozie’s consistency and brilliance between the posts, up until her first concession in open play in the final, deservedly earned her golden gloves. Clean sheets and composure in midfield are rare but invaluable.
We believe Michelle Alozie’s defensive solidity combined with attacking threat earned her deserved recognition. Meanwhile, Okoronkwo’s impact in the final both scoring and assisting revealed a fast-rising star capable of influencing big games.
We maintain that these recognitions enhance Nigeria’s standing as African football’s powerhouse. A team that not only wins titles, but produces tournament-best individuals in multiple positions, builds legacies beyond silverware.
