Femi Azeez makes PFA Championship Team of the Year after standout Millwall season

Femi Azeez has been named in the Professional Footballers’ Association Championship Team of the Year for his 2025/26 season with Millwall. The 24‑year‑old midfielder scored 11 goals and provided eight assists in 37 league appearances, helping the Lions reach the Championship playoffs where they lost to Hull City in the semi‑final. His Millwall teammate Tristan Crama also earned a place in the same XI.

Azeez’s individual accolade comes despite Millwall falling short of promotion, underscoring that personal excellence can shine even when team goals are missed. Earlier in May, he marked his senior debut for Nigeria with a brace against Jamaica’s Reggae Boyz, further boosting his profile on the international stage.

The recognition raises questions about his future role with the Super Eagles, especially as Nigeria prepares for upcoming Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers. Will Azeez’s Championship form earn him a regular starting spot, or will competition for midfield places limit his opportunities? Fans and coaches will be watching how he builds on this momentum in the next season.
