The Ghana Football Association has officially announced the nominees for the NASCO Goalkeeper of the Month award for March 2025, recognizing the standout performances of three exceptional shot-stoppers in the 2024-25 season.
The nominees are Gidios Aseako of Dreams FC, Fredrick Asare of Asante Kotoko, and Shaibu Shafique Issah of FC Samartex. Each goalkeeper has demonstrated remarkable skill, consistency, and resilience between the posts, earning them a spot in this prestigious shortlist.
Gidios Aseako – Dreams FC
Gidios Aseako has been a rock at the back for Dreams FC, showcasing his ability to keep clean sheets and make crucial saves. In March, Aseako played 4 matches, securing 3 clean sheets and conceding just 1 goal. His team recorded 3 wins and 1 draw, with no losses during the month, a testament to his commanding presence in goal. Aseako’s performances have been pivotal in Dreams FC’s defensive solidity, and his nomination reflects his growing reputation as one of the league’s top goalkeepers.
Fredrick Asare – Asante Kotoko
Fredrick Asare, the Asante Kotoko goalkeeper, continues to prove why he’s a fan favorite and a key player for the Porcupine Warriors. Also playing 4 matches in March, Asare matched Aseako’s tally with 3 clean sheets and only 1 goal conceded. Kotoko secured 2 wins and 2 draws, remaining unbeaten during the period. Asare’s consistency and ability to perform under pressure in high-stakes matches have made him a vital asset for Kotoko, and his nomination is well-deserved as he aims to add another accolade to his name.
Shaibu Shafique Issah – FC Samartex
Shaibu Shafique Issah of FC Samartex rounds out the nominees with an impressive showing in March. Although he played fewer matches—3 in total—Issah managed 1 clean sheet while conceding 2 goals. Samartex recorded 2 wins, 1 draw, and no losses during the month, with Issah’s contributions in goal playing a significant role in their success. While his stats may not match the clean sheet numbers of Aseako and Asare, Issah’s overall impact, including crucial saves and leadership at the back, has earned him recognition as a top contender for the award.
