Super Eagles’ Osimhen named among nominees for FIFA 23 Team of the Year
Napoli and Super Eagles striker, Victor Osimhen has been listed among the nominees for the FIFA 23 Team of the Year.
Osimhen has been the stunning light this season for Napoli in all competitions as the Nigerian footballer keeps impressing.
Though, one thing that Osimhen would not want to remember is the fact that Nigeria failed to qualify for the 2022 World Cup in Qatar.
Recall that the Super Eagles lost the ticket for the 2022 World Cup in play-offs against Ghana as Osimhen missed the chance to show his skills to the world.
As the voting for FIFA 23 Team of the Year commence, fans will decide who deserves the prestigious Team Of The Year XI award, as voting has started and closes on January 17, while the final list will be released on Thursday, January 19.
Other nominees listed in the attacking category alongside Osimhen are Karim Benzema, Neymar, Vinícius Jnr., Ousmane Dembélé, João Félix, Gabriel Jesus, Lionel Messi, Phil Foden, Cody Gakpo, Erling Haaland, Harry Kane, Robert Lewandowski, Sadio Mané, Kylian Mbappé, Christopher Nkunku, Darwin Núñez, Mohammed Salah, Heung Min Son, Dusan Vlahovic, Olivier Giroud and Antoine Griezmann.
