The organisers of the award, French Football, confirmed their nominations Wednesday night.

The Napoli striker was in impeccable form last season, helping the Italian side win their first Scudetto in 33 years.

He is the first Nigerian male to be nominated for the prize in 24 years. Kanu Nwankwo was the last to earn that feat.

Oshoala was also listed among the nominees for the women’s category of the award. 

The feat is a second one for the Barça Femení forward who made history last year as the first African to have made the list.

The 28-year-old former Arsenal star won a historic treble of the Primera Division title, the Supercopa de Espana Femenina, and the Champions League.

She scored 21 goals in the domestic league to emerge as joint-top scorer in Spain. Her exploits were quickly followed by a round of 16 outing with the Super Falcons at the recently-ended Women’s World Cup in Australia and New Zealand.

To celebrate the achievement of his fellow countrymen in the football world, Davido shared their nomination posts on his X (formerly Twitter) handle, accompanied with the Nigerian flag.
