Nigeria’s Gift Monday has been named the Spanish Liga F Player of the Month for February, capping off a stellar month of performances for Costa Adeje Tenerife.
The 23-year-old forward earned the prestigious award after delivering decisive goals in key matches, further cementing her reputation as one of the league’s most in-form attackers.
Monday’s February Brilliance
The Super Falcons striker was instrumental in Tenerife’s attack throughout the month, scoring twice in three league matches.
She found the net in crucial games, scoring against both Sevilla and Valencia, helping her side maintain their strong position in the league.
Her latest goals take her season tally to 10 goals in 18 Liga F appearances, making her one of the most prolific forwards in Spain this season.
Fierce Competition for the Award
Monday’s triumph was even more impressive considering the elite competition she faced for the award. Other nominees included:
Alba Redondo (Real Madrid)
Caroline Graham Hansen (Barcelona)
Ainhoa Marín (Deportivo La Coruña)
Ane Azkona (Athletic Club)
Ari Mingueza (Granada)
Elba Vergés (Eibar)
Historic Feat for Nigerian Players
With this award, Monday becomes just the third Nigerian player in history to win Liga F’s Player of the Month accolade, following in the footsteps of:
Rasheedat Ajibade (Atlético Madrid)
Edna Imade (Granada CF Femenino)
What’s Next for Monday?
With Tenerife still pushing for a strong finish in Liga F, Monday will be eager to build on her fine form and continue her goal-scoring spree.
As Nigeria’s Super Falcons prepare for upcoming international fixtures, her performances will also be closely watched by national team selectors.
For now, though, Gift Monday is officially Liga F’s best player for February—and deservedly so!
