Morocco will host for the 2nd consecutive year the prestigious awards of the Confederation of African football on December 11. Last year, Senegal’s forward Sadio Mane and Nigeria and Barcelona top striker Asisat Oshoala were honored. The CAF awards celebrate the best performers from club and country, selecting the African Player of the Year in both the men’s and women’s categories. In the women’s category, while Oshoala has dominated the category in recent years, winning in 2014, 2016, 2017, 2019 and 2022 – she still faces competition from previous winners, including Thembi Kgatlana (2018). This category counts amongst its previous winners, former Super Falcon Perpetua Nkwocha (2004, 2005, 2010 and 2011).
