Awards and nominations
Omedi was nominated in the FIFA Puskas Award 2024 for his rabona strike against KCCA in the FUFA Super 8 tournament. The goal was contested for amongst other 10 contenders including Hassan Al Haydos, Terry Antonis, Yassine Benzia, Walter Bou, Michaell Chirinos, Federico Dimarco, Alejandro Garnacho, Mohammed Kudus, Jaden Philogene and Paul Onuachu. The rabona goal was also nominated for the prestigious Goal of the Year category at the CAF Awards 2024, making it the only goal alongside Benzia's volley for Algeria against South Africa to receive both nominations for CAF and Puskas.
At the 2024 FIFA Puskás Awards, the Kitara FC and Uganda Cranes forward achieved a third-place finish with a total of 16 points. His nomination celebrated his rabona goal which he scored against KCCA FC. The accolade was awarded to Manchester United and Argentina's Alejandro Garnacho, whose goal secured first place with 26 points, followed by Yassine Benzia's strike against South Africa, which earned 22 points.
In addition, Omedi was a contender in the 2024 CAF Awards, where he was nominated for the Goal of the Year category. Despite his remarkable performance, he finished sixth in the voting with 13,766 votes. The award was won by Angola's Mabululu.
Omedi's inclusion in these awards has him in the spotlight and increased his transfer prospects. His current employment contract at Kitara FC was due to expire at the end of the 2024 season, and he had offers from Spain, Egypt's Pyramids FC and Kenya's Gor Mahia. He also got offers from South Africa and Libya since the previous transfer window.
