The shortlist includes players from seven countries. Aït El Haj is joined by Malawi’s Tabitha and Temwa Chawinga, South Africa’s Thembi Kgatlana and Zambia’s Barbra Banda, among others.

This is a nomination rather than an award victory. Bold Sports reports that the ceremony is scheduled for December 7 in Lagos. The shortlist marks a stage in the process of recognising the year’s performances.
