CAF Awards: Nwabali dropped from final shortlist for Goalkeeper of the Year

Super Eagles goalkeeper Stanley Nwabali has been excluded from the final three-man shortlist for the Goalkeeper of the Year at the 2024 CAF Awards.

This was confirmed in a social media post from the football body on Thursday night.

Those who will be competing for the prize are Andre Onana (Cameroon/Manchester United), Ronwen Williams (South Africa/Mamelodi Sundowns) and Yahia Fofana (Cote d'Ivoire/Angers SCO).

The winner will be announced at a gala ceremony on Monday, December 16.

Nwabali burst onto the continental scene at the Africa Cup of Nations earlier this year.

In seven games, he kept four clean sheets and saved two penalty kicks in the semi-final shootout against South Africa.
