Christiana Uzoma, Ramotalahi Kareem shine as Falconets dominate WAFU B U20 Awards

By Oyediji Oluwaseun Babatunde

Nigeria’s dominance at the WAFU B U20 Girls Cup was further confirmed as two Falconets stars — Christiana Ujoma Uzoma and Ramotalahi Kareem — claimed top individual honours at the conclusion of the tournament.

Goalkeeper Christiana Ujoma Uzoma was named Best Goalkeeper of the Tournament after an exceptional campaign between the posts.

The commanding shot-stopper conceded just one goal in four matches, playing a pivotal role in Nigeria’s unbeaten, title-winning run.

Uzoma’s consistency, composure, and leadership earned her widespread praise as she anchored the Falconets’ solid defensive unit.

In attack, Ramotalahi Kareem emerged as the Top Scorer, finding the back of the net four times to power Nigeria’s charge to glory.

The skillful forward’s finishing and movement made her one of the standout players of the competition — a clear sign of a star in the making.

Meanwhile, Ghana’s Sarah Nyarko was named Player of the Tournament for her impressive performances throughout the campaign.

It was a day of celebration for the Falconets, who not only lifted the trophy but also reaffirmed their status as the powerhouse of women’s youth football in West Africa.
