Super Eagles’ duo of Moses Simon and Akinkunmi Amoo have failed to make the final list of nominees for the men’s categories of the Confederation of African Football (CAF) Awards 2022.

France-based Simon, who plays for FC Nantes and Amoo of Danish side FC Copenhagen, were the only Nigerians to make the first list released by CAF on June 30.

However, when the final list was released on Monday, the two players were not part of the elite African performers in the last few months, who made the top list.

Earlier, Simon was listed for the Player of the Year award, while Amoo was listed for the Young Player of the Year award.

A statement on the CAF website revealed that the star-studded final list of nominees for the men’s categories included Mohamed Salah, Sadio Mane and Riyad Mahrez, as well as some of the elite performers in the last few months.

The list included reigning CAF African Player of the Year, Sadio Mane (Senegal and Bayern Munich), former winner Riyad Mahrez (Algeria and Manchester City), Mohamed Salah (Egypt and Liverpool) amongst others.
