Wilfred Ndidi and Asisat Oshoala were among the winners at the seventh edition of the Nigeria Pitch Awards held in Lagos on Tuesday.
Leicester City’s Ndidi, who played a key role in helping his English team securing a place in the Europa League as well as finished as second-best tackler in the 2019-20 English topflight campaign, was named King of the Pitch, while Oshoala – has been impressive for Barcelona Femeni – was named Queen of the Pitch.
In his address, Shina Philips, president of the awards, expressed gratitude to the Nigeria Football Federation and all stakeholders in the country’s football for their backing in giving Nigerians a transparent and credible award.
