Published: May 09, 2023
The duo of Victor Boniface and Gift Orban have been nominated for the Ebony Shoe, an award given annually to the best African or African origin player in the Belgian Pro League.
Boniface has been outstanding for Royale Union Saint-Gilloise this season, scoring 8 goals and registering seven assists in the JPL.
Orban has also taken the Jupiler Pro League by storm since he joined in the January transfer window.
The 20-year-old has scored 11 goals and registered two assists in 12 matches for the Buffalos.
The Nigerian strikers will battle it out with Genk's trio of Bilal El Khannouss, Joseph Paintsil and Mike Trésor for the prestigious award.
The award winner is determined by votes of coaches of league clubs, the Belgium national team manager, sports journalists and one or more honorary jurors.
Super Eagles players past and present have won the Ebony Shoe in the past including Daniel Amokachi, Victor Ikpeba, Celestine Babayoro, Godwin Okpara and Paul Onuachu.
The current holder of the award is Gent winger Tarik Tissoudali.
