The 2024 CAF Awards will be a celebration of the best
of African football with a star-studded line-up of players, coaches and special
guests in attendance at the glittering ceremony at the Palais des Congrès in
Marrakech, Morocco on Monday.
Africa’s top achievers over the past year will be
honoured and leading the show are two world class presenters to guide us
through the evening, which will kick off at 19h00 local time (18h00 GMT/ 20h00

Awards,” Scott said. “It will be a privilege to be on stage and in the room
alongside some of the most influential names in football. I’m excited to see
the continent’s best honoured.
“African football gives the global game soul. The
talent born there is immense. The love for the sport is universal across the
continent. And the culturally diverse way in which it is lived from nation to
nation makes football there one of the heartbeats of the global game.”

our continent.
“You only have to look at the list of nominees for
this 2024 edition in Marrakech to see the constant evolution that our football
