Nigeria's football governing body, the NFF, is out to support superstar Victor Osimhen in the fight to emerge as FIFA The Best Award winner.

The Nigeria Football Federation, NFF, will leave no stone unturned to see Victor Osimhen emerge as the 2023 FIFA The Best winner.

NFF has taken to social media to canvas for votes for the Nigeria Super Eagles star and SSC Napoli hero.

Osimhen was nominated alongside 11 others for the FIFA The Best Award after an impressive 2022/2023 season for club and country.

Osimhen nominated for The Best
The 24-year-old was listed amongst the 12 players expected to battle for the FIFA Award, which is in its eighth edition.

Osimhen’s nomination came after an excellent campaign, where he led his Italian team, Napoli, to the Serie A title.

For the first time in 33 years, the club from Naples was crowned Italian champions, with Nigeria’s super striker, Osimhen, leading the lines.

He netted 26 goals in the Serie A to finish as the league’s top scorer, which earned him the best striker award.

That award saw the Nigerian forward become the first African in the 125-year history of Serie A to be named the best forward in Italy.

It was these amongst his performances for Nigeria Super Eagles that earned him spots in the European Ballon d’Or and FIFA The Best nomination lists.

NFF rallies Nigerians
With a star-studded competition set to battle Osimhen for the Best Player Award, Nigeria’s Football Federation has taken to its social media pages to call on Nigerians.

The NFF posted on their Facebook page a clarion call to Nigerians to vote one of their own while sharing a link.

“Vote for your own, Victor Osimhen,” the NFF post read. “Here is a link to do so,” the governing body added

Meanwhile, Osimhen, who also fired Napoli to a historic quarterfinal place in the Champions League last season, is back in the competition.

The Super Eagle will lead the Italian champions when they take to the pitch against Braga on Wednesday night.
