Enyeama Makes African Footballer of the Year Top 3 Shortlist
Super Eagles Captain, Vincent Enyeama, has made
the final top 3 short-list for the CAF African Player
of the Year Award.
Apart from starring for Nigeria at the
World Cup, the 32-year-old was
impressive in a Lille side that finished
third in Ligue 1 last season, helping the
club to the UEFA Champions League
preliminary stages.
Enyeama kept 21 clean sheets in the
last league season.
Current holder; Yaya Toure and Gabon’s
Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang are the
other two contenders for Africa’s
biggest individual honours.
The winner will be unveiled on January
8 in Lagos.
The Super Eagles captain had earlier
failed to win the British Broadcasting
Corporation (BBC) organised African
Footballer of the Year Award, having
been shortlisted among players to vie for its 2014 edition.
Algeria and Porto forward, Yacine
Brahimi won the BBC honours.
