Nigeria Pitch Award Set To Hold On December 22
Published: December 12, 2020Organizers of the prolific Nigeria Pitch Awards have announced to the public that the seventh edition of the award will be taking place on the 22nd of December in Lagos.
Now, however, a new date has been officially set for the 2020 Nigerian award, with reelsofjoy online pokies putting up impressive odds for the games ahead before the event.
Speaking to the media in a press conference, the president of the Nigeria Pitch Awards Shina Philips said: “It has been our tradition since 2013 to schedule our award ceremonies to coincide with major Super Eagles match engagements.
“The seventh award ceremony was to honor deserving award winners for the year, 2019. Unfortunately, the circumstances engineered by attempts to halt the spread of Covid-19 forced a major postponement of the event.
“This year’s award ceremony will mark the first award ceremony which will be held in Lagos. As organizers and as a responsible corporate citizen, we are mindful of the need to observe all government laid down Covid-19 protocols in order to keep our guests safe.
“This is why physical attendance will be restricted as many nominees including members of the Super Eagles will follow the event online.”
Leicester City superstar Wilfred Ndidi will be locking horns against Napoli striker Victor Osimhen and Manchester United forward Odion Ighalo for the King of the Pitch award while for the Queen of the Pitch award Barcelona star Asisat Oshoala is leading the race for the accolade against Henan Jianye star Onome Ebi and Paris FC star Chiamaka Nnadozie.
Coupled with that, Goal's journalist Samuel Ahmadu also made the list for the Football Journalist of the Year award and will be hoping to clinch his second award back to back.
The award was said to have been created with the intention of rewarding the country's players, home or abroad. It is sanctioned by the Nigeria Football Federation, as new online casinos are showing off odds to the football fans all across the world.
At the 2018 edition which was held in Port Harcourt, NFF boss Amaju Pinnick delivered praises to the award managers.
Pinnick said: “We are very proud of you even if we don’t tell you; we are indeed very proud of you. Organizing an award is not an easy job.
“We will not only associate with you, we will also do one or two things for you.
“The awards have been running for the past few years and they [organizers] have been very consistent.”
