“The stars who shined the brightest.
“Meet your Best XI of the tournament,” CAF Women wrote.
Super Falcons captain Ajibade, who contributed significantly throughout the competition, was named Player of the Tournament.
The Atletico Madrid forward also won Woman of the Match awards in three of Nigeria’s six games, demonstrating her leadership and offensive ability.
Okoronkwo was equally impressive, scoring two goals and assisting four times for the Super Falcons.
Her attacking efforts were critical in Nigeria’s championship run.
Nnadozie was crowned Best Keeper after preserving four clean sheets, solidifying her reputation as one of the continent’s most reliable hands.
Defender Alozie, who played every minute of Nigeria’s campaign, also made the list.
Her dramatic late winner against South Africa in the semi-finals was one of the tournament’s most memorable moments.
