The countdown is on to the 2024 CAF Awards with six
days to go until we honour the continent’s best players, coaches and teams in
Marrakech, Morocco on Monday, 16 December in a glittering celebration of
African football.
The ceremony takes place at the Palais des Congrès and
will kick off at 19h00 local time (18h00 GMT/ 20h00 Cairo time/ 21h00 East
African time).
Africa’s leading football experts have voted for their
star names across a range of categories for Men and Women, including the
coveted Player of the Year, Coach of the Year, Goalkeeper of the Year and Young
Player of the Year.
From an original list of 30 top performers in the Men’s Player of the Year
category, the number has been cut to five, with a final three to be revealed
this week ahead of the Awards ceremony.
Some of the greatest names in African football history
have walked away with the prize, including record four-time winners Samuel
Eto’o (Cameroon) and Yaya Toure (Cote d’Ivoire), and George Weah (Liberia) and
Abedi Pele (Ghana), who have three wins each.
In the Women’s category, Nigeria’s Asisat Oshoala
leads the way with six wins, two more than compatriot Perpetua Nkwocha.
The best clubs and national teams will also be honoured, and fans have voted
for their top pick from several exceptional goals with an award for the most
spectacular strike in 2024.
The ceremony will be attended by football stakeholders
from across the continent and beyond, as well as legendary players and some of
Africa’s finest current stars.
With Morocco’s rich footballing history and vibrant
culture, Marrakech is the perfect backdrop for this prestigious celebration
that is a must-watch event for fans around the world.
There will be plenty of entertainment on the night as
the very best in African football gather to celebrate another fantastic
footballing year for the continent.
