Ahmed Musa and Francisca Ordega were among the winners at the sixth edition of the Nigeria Pitch Awards, held in Asaba on Saturday.
Al Nassr’s Musa, whose brace against Iceland handed the Super Eagles their only victory at the 2018 Fifa World Cup in Russia, was named King of the Pitch, while Ordega – who played a crucial role as the Super Falcons emerged as African champions for a record ninth time – was named Queen of the Pitch.
The award ceremony, held after Nigeria’s 0-0 draw with Zimbabwe at the weekend, had in attendance the crème de la crème of the country’s football personalities, including players and technical crew of the Super Eagles.
