According to Mr. Innocent Tibayeita, EABL Marketing Manager premium brands, “There will be an independent team composed of coaching experts, football journalists, experts and scouts assigned to every single league game throughout the season to analyze and assess the performance of the players.
“At the end of each month, the technical team will meet to analyze the ratings and afterwards vote on the most outstanding performers. The team will then choose the monthly winners, who will ultimately qualify to contest for the Footballer of the year award”, he said.
Tibayeita also added that the public will have the chance to vote for their favourite performers and their participation will contribute 20% to the final vote. Enthusiastic soccer fans will be identified and given an opportunity to participate in the event.
“This will be a great opportunity for them not to only enjoy the match, but also have a say as to who their favorite footballer is”, said Tibayeita.
The Bell Super League awards will, this year, run under the theme, “Let’s raise the esteem of our footballers.”
The award categories include Footballer of the year, Golden boot winner, Team of the season and Fair play award among others.
