Ajibade Wins MVP, Nnadozie Crowned Best Goalkeeper at 2024 WAFCON
Following their 3-2 triumph over Morocco on July 26, 2025, Nigeria’s Super Falcons dominated the 2024 WAFCON individual awards, with Rasheedat Ajibade named Most Valuable Player (MVP) and Chiamaka Nnadozie awarded Best Goalkeeper.
Ajibade, the Atletico Madrid star, earned the honor with three Woman of the Match awards, scoring once and assisting twice, including in the final’s comeback. Nnadozie, Paris FC’s shot-stopper, conceded only one penalty goal across five matches, showcasing her pivotal role.
Ghizlane Chebbak of Morocco won the top scorer award with five goals, while South Africa received the Fair Play Award. The awards, presented post-final, reflect Nigeria’s team success, though some Moroccan fans on X question Chebbak’s exclusion from MVP, citing her tournament impact. The narrative of individual brilliance complements the team’s 10th title, but the focus remains on collective achievement amid organizational critiques.
