Esther Okoronkwo has won Super Falcons’ Fans Player of the Tournament after her impressive performances at the 2024 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations.
Five of her teammates – Rasheedat Ajibade, Folashade Ijamilusi, Ashleigh Plumptre, Chiwendu Ihezuo, and Jennifer Echegini – were also nominated for the award. But Okoronkwo won.
The 27-year-old was one of the top performers in the just-concluded tournament. In her six appearances for the Super Falcons, she provided six assists, scoring two goals.
This was announced on Tuesday on the Super Falcons X handle.
“Presenting your #WAFCON2024 Fans’ Player of the Tournament…
Esther Okoronkwo, OON.
Clutch. Composed. Crowned by the people,” the post read.
In the same tournament, Okoronkwo also won two other awards. The AFC Toronto star was instrumental to the Moroccan Atlas Lionesses’s 3-2 defeat.
