The trio of Victor Osimhen, Asisat Oshoala, and Chiamaka Nnadozie made Nigeria proud on Monday night at the 2023 CAF Awards in Morocco, according to the President of the Nigeria Football Federation Ibrahim Gusau. Nigeria made history by taking home three major trophies, making them the event's largest winner. Promotion Nigeria's 24-year drought for the prestigious African Player of the Year title came to an end when Victor Osimhen won it. After an incredible season with Barcelona that included a league championship and Women's Champions League gold, Super Falcons star Asisat Oshoala broke the record by winning her sixth African Women's Player of the Year title.

African Women's Goalkeeper of the Year went to Chiamaka Nnadozie, another Super Falcons player. The Super Falcons' outstanding performance at the 2023 Women's World Cup in Australia and New Zealand earned them the title of women's team of the year.

Gusau revealed his happiness during a night in Morocco that made history for Nigeria. "I am very excited tonight," Gusau declared. This has been extremely beneficial for both our football team and our nation overall. I salute the Super Falcons collectively and Osimhen, Oshoala, and Nnadozie for giving us this distinction. I would demand that they all carry on doing what they do best, continue to advance, and continue to triumph. For them, the sky will be the beginning. Gusau was there.

The Super Falcons' women's team of the year title was given to him. He dedicated the prize to all African women's football teams.

Nnadozie took use of the chance to inspire young football players to pursue their goals. "To all the young ladies seeing themselves as football players when they grow up in Africa—believe me, dreams do come true. Although my father didn't want me to play football, I do not doubt that he would be pleased to witness this. So, keep working and dreaming, and I'm sure you'll reach this point eventually.
