Olunga’s nomination comes after a standout performance in the previous round, where he scored two goals in Al Arabi’s emphatic 5–1 victory over Qatar SC.

Meanwhile, Brahimi earned his place on the shortlist because of scoring the winning goal in Al Gharafa’s narrow 1-0 victory over Al Wakrah in the same round.

Despite his nomination, Brahimi will be out of action for two weeks due to an injury sustained in Al Gharafa’s last match, as confirmed earlier by the club.
