Adams, Ejuke nominated for LaLiga African award

Akor Adams and Chidera Ejuke have been shortlisted for the La Liga African Player of the season award, organisers have confirmed.

The Super Eagles duo are among 20 nominees competing for the individual honour, which recognises the best African performer in Spain’s top flight over the season.

Strong competition for top prize

The shortlist also includes notable names such as Inaki Williams of Athletic Bilbao, a previous winner of the award, alongside Sevilla trio Pape Gueye, Thomas Partey and Nicolas Pepe.

Levante’s Karl Etta Eyong is also in contention, underlining the depth of African talent currently active in LaLiga.

The award, now in its fifth edition, continues to highlight the growing influence of African players in Spanish football.

Voting process and past winners

This year’s ceremony will be held in Lagos, with fans across Africa playing a key role in determining the winner through a combined voting system involving public input and expert assessment.

Previous recipients include Samuel Chukwueze and Yassine Bounou, both of whom have made significant impacts in La Liga.
