Nasarawa United’s Anas Yusuf and old war horse, Kano Pillars’ Rabiu Ali, are among the contestants for the 2025 Eunisell Boot Awards, which honours outstanding performers in the Nigerian Premier Football League (NPFL).

Organisers of the awards, on Tuesday, said that this year’s event, slated for June, in Lagos, marks a major milestone—a decade of Eunisell’s steadfast commitment to celebrating excellence and supporting domestic football development in Nigerian football.

The Eunisell Boot Award, is a yearly ceremony that honours the NPFL’s highest goal scorer, spotlighting individual brilliance and inspiring the next generation of football talents.

Since its inception, the initiative has become one of the most respected individual accolades in Nigerian football.

With one match day to go this season, the race for the 2025 Eunisell Boot is intensifying.

Nasarawa United’s Anas Yusuf currently leads the race to grab the Eunisell Boots with 18 goals. Yusuf took his tally to 18 goals in Sunday’s 3-2 victory over Enyimba.

The trio of Rabiu Ali (Kano Pillars) as well as the Abia Warriors’ duo of Anthony De Souza Ijoma, and Sunday Megwo have 12 goals each.

Beyond the Boot Awards, Eunisell currently sponsors Abia Warriors, a prominent club in the NPFL, further demonstrating its active support for domestic football development and grassroots talent.

Ken Okeiyi, CEO of Eunisell, emphasised the company’s dedication to the sport and its role in uplifting communities.

The organisers said that details of the 2025 Eunisell Boot Awards ceremony, including final date and venue, would be announced in the coming weeks.
